Sadler’s Wells & BBC Arts present Dancing Nation
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 audiences to look behind the mask of ego and affectation.
- ★★★★ "expressive dancer Sati Veyrunes bursts out of a car boot on to the streets of Belfast to perform a confrontational excerpt from Northern Irish choreographer Oona Doherty’s Hope Hunt and the Ascension Into Lazarus."
