OONA DOHERTY Hope Hunt & The Ascension into Lazarus

Hope Hunt lies between the lines of physical theatre, social proclamation and dance. A thumping black golf head lights on sits in waiting, Music thumping from its metal shield A man who is many men leeks in out of the metal beat, his story, A hunt for hope. The performer mutates into separate entireties. Morphing from one character to the next. Through speech, movement, and
sound we are twisted and contorted through ideas of masculinity, morality and nostalgia. Through wet forgotten roads of memory; the hunter takes the audience with him.
