An evening to discover the world of Oona Doherty, associate artist at Ballet Preljocaj
A piece from her repertoire and a new creation for the Ballet Preljocaj Junior.
This new creation from Oona Doherty features the Ballet Preljocaj Junior’s young performers, questioning their identity and revealing their true strengths and beauty in a repetitive movement of resistance, endurance and intention. An examination of what makes each individual feel as if they belong to a nation. The explosive style of her choreography tells of revolt and freedom.
