Lyric Theatre – New Speak Re-Imagined more about the show
Regular programming may be cancelled but we are still transmitting!
“I can see what the future will look like.”
Where are we now, and where are we going? What would you say if you could speak with the future? Can you change the world?
In the last few weeks the world has changed utterly. But while our stages may be dark right now, this broadcast will not be interrupted.
From an age of solitude, 5 commissions and 13 NI-based artists & directors are responding to the Covid-19 crisis while in lockdown. We’ve moved our artist-led initiative New Speak online and into your homes, with compelling, invigorating and urgent new work that speaks to where we are right now; from Amadan Ensemble, Dominic Montague, Katie Richardson, Lata Sharma, and Zara Janahi, and directed by Emily Foran and Oisín Kearney.
These artists have each created a dynamic short performance piece that seeks to engage with the urgent questions raised by our current political, social and economic moment; reflecting on how we got here, and imagining where we go next.
New Speak Re-Imagined will feature over four episodes here and on our YouTube channel each Friday from 24th April. Check out more information on the artists and their work below!
