EN Oona Doherty’s Hard to be soft – A Belfast Prayer is an unflinching portrait of her hometown’s working-class communities, capturing their violence and vulnerability, quirks and courage. Blending brutal insurrection with fragile hope, the choreography distils the city’s energy into a four-part physical prayer, where street swagger meets intimate reflection. Set to a powerful score by David Holmes, Hard to be soft explores masculinity, sectarianism, and class, portraying a place where defiance is survival and beauty, armour. Hailed as one of Europe’s most exciting contemporary dance voices, Doherty crafts a deeply human tribute to Belfast, where pain, pride, and faith collide in motion. A workshop programme with girls and boys in Luxembourg will strengthen ties between the performance and the community.
