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.
