Hard to Be Soft - A Belfast Prayer, Edinburgh, 21 August 2019
Add to Lightbox Download
A dance piece which looks behind the masks of violence and machismo to the inner lives of Belfast hard men and strong women. Cast in four episodes, Hard to Be Soft features solos from Oona Doherty, a warrior-like hip-hop dance group, and a choreographed wrestling match for a male duet. Using rich, sometimes unsettling imagery from Belfast street life and religious ritual, and set inside a massive, gleaming cage, it contrasts shocking power with meditative stillness.
Hard to Be Soft: A Belfast Prayer runs as part of the Edinburgh International Festival at Lyceum Theatre from 21-24 August
