Hope Hunt and the
Ascension Into Lazarus (excerpt)
Choreography: Oona Doherty
This award-winning solo performance bursts with fury, swagger and humanity. Hope Hunt shatters facades, dismantles stereotypes and finds beauty on the periphery. Adopting multiple personas of disaffected male youth, this powerful dance theatre work invites us to look behind the mask of ego and affectation.
