Chronically Hopeful
An immersive dance performance by artists with chronic illness blending live music, movement and text at Smock Alley Theatre.
Presented by Dublin Fringe Festival
I've seen the psychiatrist, the gastroenterologist, the neurologist, the ophthalmologist, the homoeopathic healer, the chiropractor, the aromatherapist. The Exorcist? Honestly, at this point, I'm gagging for an exorcism.
Blending live music, movement, text and striking visual design, and created by artists living with chronic illness and unseen disability, this immersive performance reveals the hidden, often messy truth behind "I'm fine": the cost of getting out of bed, the absurdity of medical bureaucracy, the sting of being left out, and the beauty and solidarity that make it possible to carry on.
Warnings: Contains sexual references
Home Ground Performance with ISL Interpretation: 9 Sep, 18:15 for deaf and disabled audiences, and ISL users.
All performances are relaxed.
Funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon. Developed with support from Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray, & Rainy Days Festival, Luxembourg.
