DESCRIPTION
“Welcome To A Bright White Limbo” is an honest and stimulating account of dance theatre which pushes boundaries, visually and aurally while revealing the raw energy, talent and creative ability of one of the best dance artists in Ireland today, Oona Doherty. Combining documentary and dance performance, this visually arresting film dives into the mind and creative process of Oona Doherty's award winning dance show “Hope Hunt”. Using interviews and a dance performance in the streets of Belfast, the film plays with dichotomies; a sense of home, gender, dance, redemption and how to be in the world.
