Hard-hitting | Gender | Deconstruction
Oona Doherty’s provocative works contain a visceral honesty haunted by Northern Ireland’s past. Drenched in ultra-virility and the unpolished energy of the streets, the solo explores the realities of a young white working-class male. Hope Hunt scrapes the asphalt to bounce back better, from gravity to hope, teetering between comedy and tragedy.
This unusual evening, imagined by Belfast artist Oona Doherty, features a series of explosive performances. First up is the hard-hitting Hope Hunt and the Ascension into Lazarus. It is followed by a lively DJ intermission and the presentation of the immense Navy Blue, where twelve performers will take the stage in a flamboyant contemporary ballet setting against the backdrop of the end of the world.

« Au lieu de répéter des stéréotypes plats, Doherty crée un portrait à plusieurs niveaux sur la classe et le genre, dans lequel la violence et la tendresse, le chagrin et le bonheur, le désespoir et l’utopie sont liés de manière complexe. »

« Comme dans un tableau du Caravage, elle illumine les poseurs, les voyous, les mecs, les petits criminels et les voyous de ce solo d’une lumière blanche éblouissante. La frange de notre société, que l’Europe recrache à chaque coin de rue, se dresse pour devenir des oiseaux de paradis, ressuscités comme Lazare. »
