Michael Flatley first grew to fame following his performance on the intermission show during the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest which was held in Dublin. The 7-minute show – Riverdance – became an international sensation, and in the wake of its success, Flatley created a new show, Lord of the Dance.
In 2018, he dipped his toes into the world of filmmaking with Blackbird, a film he wrote, directed, produced and starred in. It was released in Irish cinemas in September 2022.
