Oona Doherty – Navy Blue

TANEC PRAHA 2023

Thursday 22. 6. 2023
20:00
60 minutes
large auditorium

Tickets available via Archa Theatre and GoOut.cz


“What's the point?” The voice of Oona Doherty challenges us. As is her habit, she asks pointed questions. In the dark, philosophical production of Navy Blue, accompanied by melancholic and urgent music (Sergei Rachmaninov and DJ Jamie xx), the Belfast choreographer boldly questions the meaning of dance and human existence itself in the context of an infinite universe. However, the emotionally charged dance performances of twelve performers and their relentless struggle for survival in today's merciless world are proof that it all makes sense.

Oona Doherty (IE)
British choreographer based in Belfast. She studied at the London School of Contemporary Dance, University of Ulster and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London. She collaborated with various ensembles and artists until she set out on her own creative path. She presented her unique author's solo Hope Hunt & The Ascension into Lazarus or Hard to Be Soft at the TANEC PRAHA 2017 festival. She won the Silver Lion award at the Venice Biennale (2021). She is also devoted to film, art and teaching dance.
