Bealtaine Commission as part of Bealtaine Festival
[blockquote_right]15 + 16 MAY | 7:30PM | Main Space[/blockquote_right]
Everybody Sings is a candid and poignant examination of the relationship between intimacy and ageing and was developed in collaboration with a group of older citizens whose stories and experiences are presented through music, film and live performance.
Everybody Sings is led by artist, Shaun Dunne, in close collaboration with film designer, Luca Truffarelli.
This new work seeks to explore changing attitudes towards age, sex and sexuality by fusing testimony, film and live performance. Questions on consent and capacity, bereavement and break-ups will be mindfully explored and demystified through the stylized abstraction of lived experience and inspired narrative.
