We are delighted to offer this as a free performance thanks to the contributions of the Embassy of Ireland and the New England Foundation for the Arts.
A provocative and powerful new work emerging in the wake of Ireland's centennial anniversary of the 1916 Rising, On Triumph and Trauma is at once a poetic dedication to a turning point in the nation's history and a rigorous examination of what Irish identity, politics and nationalism means today. A visually bold and physically visceral work for four performers, On Triumph and Trauma creates a landscape of creation and destruction as the ideas of nationalism, sacrifice, violence and memory are drawn and erased under tarkly different lights.
