Award-winning choreographer Oona Doherty returns to Dance Umbrella Festival following critically acclaimed productions Hard to Be Soft – A Belfast Prayer and Hope Hunt and the Ascension into Lazarus.

“One of the most exciting voices in dance right now”
The Guardian preview of Navy Blue

Using her distinctive and visceral choreographic style, Doherty creates an unsettling atmosphere for latest work Navy Blue as a dark night descends and a group of 12 dancers generate a sense of dread, trapped within a destructive algorithm. Featuring music from Sergeï Rachmaninoff and Jamie xx this compelling new piece considers where we have been and where we are heading, as it urgently appeals for societal change.
