Róisín O'Brien Dance

lux asunder (2023)

And then it was torn.

Under this scorched sky, we scrambled and reassembled. We fought. We sought refuge. We changed. Altered cells glide through ridges of toxic skin, pulsing to a new life source, or bringer of death.

Hold these fragments. Make of us what you will.

Part of the specially commissioned ‘Environments’ for Hidden Door 2023, lux asunder is an atmospherically pulsing blend of choreography with live vocals and sax, framed by spectacular light installations.
