Intense and rebellious, Oona Doherty is now regarded as a rising star in contemporary dance. The young Irish choreographer, true to a political and engaged style, delivers her most ambitious creation with “Navy Blue.” Blending classical dance, contemporary dance, and textual creation, she takes us on a whirlwind of violence, solidarity, and perhaps hope. In this piece for twelve dancers, Oona Doherty stages raw, visceral emotion, a painful trance that carries within it the need for protest and the yearning for change. She relies on a musical accompaniment that is both classical and contemporary, navigating from the lyricism of Sergei Rachmaninoff to the electronic laments of Jamie xx. Troubling and haunting, “Navy Blue” paints a portrait of humanity full of contrasts, simultaneously fragile and brutal.
