OONA DOHERTY Performance Program

In the organizer's words:

EN

An all-day performance parcours shows groundbreaking dance in dialog with visual and applied arts - in all six venues of the Kunstmeile Hamburg.

Oona Doherty (*1986) has become a star of the European dance scene with an intense language of movement and choreographies that show a departure from a crisis-ridden world. After being awarded the Silver Lion at the 2021 Venice Biennale and several summer festival appearances, most recently in 2022 with the world premiere of NAVY BLUE, the Northern Irish choreographer is now performing in all six venues of the Kunstmeile Hamburg. These showcase the full range of her artistic work, which includes dance, theater, music and art. Doherty relates parts of her previous works to the individual venues and initiates a choreographic dialog with the visual arts, which the audience can explore throughout the day in all the Kunstmeile venues: from feminist responses to Hans Makart's salon paintings in the Kunsthalle, a duet to the expansive works of Katharina Grosse in the Deichtorhallen to a large final choreography in the Kunstverein.

At the summer festival, Doherty can be seen not only in cooperation with the Hamburger Kunstmeile but also with her latest stage work SPECKY CLARK and an installation in the Kampnagel Vorhalle.

An all-day performance parcours showcasing Doherty's visceral dance language in dialog with visual art - across six museums.

Oona Doherty (*1986) has risen to fame with her intense movement language and works depicting a world breaking free from crisis. After receiving the Silver Lion at the 2021 Venice Biennale and premiering NAVY BLUE at the 2022 Summer Festival, the Northern Irish choreographer now presents performances across all six venues of Kunstmeile Hamburg.

Showcasing her diverse artistic output that blends dance, theater, music, and art, Doherty connects previous works to each site, creating a choreographic dialogue with visual art: from feminist responses to Hans Makart's salon paintings in the Kunsthalle, to a duet engaging with Katharina Grosse's expansive works at the Deichtorhallen, and a large-scale choreography at Kunstverein that closes the day. In addition, the Summer Festival presents her latest stage work SPECKY CLARK and an installation in the Kampnagel Vorhalle.
