About

Long Kesh, Belfast. 1981. Bobby Sands embarks on hunger strike in pursuit of political status. On day 66 he died. Nine other prisoners died as well before the strike is called off. This piece explores the brutality and humanity within the poetry and prose, written in secret by Sands whilst behind bars. Expect raw, pulsating dance, accompanied live by the traditional Irish drum - the bodhrán.
