A woman with flowing hair poses expressively in front of a white background, as if air were being blown into her face. She is wearing a light blue shirt.

Performance Program

Ryan O’Neil, who also danced in NAVY BLUE, presents KETAMINE SOFA in the Mirror Hall of the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe. The performance was first created for Lothringer Halle 13 in Munich in 2019 and represents fractured memories of youth. Then, a group of Hamburg teenagers will dance LAZARUS AND THE CONCRETE BIRDS OF PARADISE in the courtyard of the MK&G. Originally conceived as a solo, this work was the final scene of HOPE HUNT (Summer Festival 2022) and the opening scene in HARD TO BE SOFT, and is strongly characterized by Doherty’s unique dance language that has made her a star.
