Oona Doherty
Performance Program
An all-day performance parcours showcasing Doherty’s visceral dance language in dialogue 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.
