As part of the ChoreograpHER cycle.
Discover five proposals honouring a new generation of women choreographers.


Four striking
portraits of life in Belfast. Oona Doherty draws from her fellow countrymen's intimate and social reality to create a piece that mixes ferocity and tenderness.
“Hard to be soft”,
or the difficulty of showing vulnerability when under constraint. The dance affirms here her powerful capacity to sieze reality.
