We celebrate the vibrant Deaf community here in Northern Ireland with the first commission of Deaf artists by the Lyric.
Paula Clarke and Jane O’Brien, BSL and ISL users, bring us on a choreographic dance though Northern Irish Deaf history.
Continuing our investigation of the state of our nation, The Naked Hands explores the legacy of the Deaf community. How they have fought against the odds to use their suppressed minority language this play looks to the future with optimistic hope.
We brought together an award-winning team of artists, supported by the Lyric's team, to envision this production. Amanda Coogan, critically-acclaimed and award-winning performance artist - and Child of Deaf Adults - directs the work. Multi-award winning Lighting Designer Paul Keogan brings his beautiful vision. Mercury prize-nominated composer Hannah Peel lends her music. The phenomenal Ciara McMullan captured the stunning visuals as our Director of Photography, all supported by the Department for Communities.
