Dancer and choreographer Oona Doherty’s Hope Hunt and the Ascension into Lazarus, performed by Sati Veyrunes, will take place both directly in front of the museum and in our galleries. Situated between physical theatre, dance, and performance art, this work manipulates and reimagines the gestures of working-class masculinity, and is a search for hope.

This performance is in collaboration with CODA—Oslo International Dance Festival, and Dansens Hus, where Doherty’s Navy Blue will be performed on October 12 and 13.

Part of Before Tomorrow Live – a program of performance, talks, sound, and screenings as an extension of the anniversary exhibition Before Tomorrow—Astrup Fearnley Museet 30 Years. 

Free and open for all

A swaggering, graceful ode to working-class men … There’s reverence here, and humour; a massive talent and a hugely original voice. – Lyndsey Winship on Hope Hunt and the Ascension into Lazarus in The Guardian.
