The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Wednesday 11th October - Sunday 29th October
The Douglas Hyde Gallery of Contemporary Art is excited to present a new work by renowned performance artist Amanda Coogan, Deaf artists Lianne Quigley and Alvean Jones with Dublin Theatre of the Deaf (DTD), Cork Deaf Community Choir and students from the Centre for Deaf Studies (CDS) at Trinity College Dublin.
Freude! Freude! is a live exhibition, an embodied performance and installation which translates Ludwig van Beethoven’s Ode to Joy chorus into Irish Sign Language (ISL) and reinterprets the entire symphony through the lens of the Deaf experience. Using ISL as a choreographic language, Coogan, Quigley and Jones have worked with DTD and students from the CDS to produce an aural, visual and immersive feast that will be presented through a series of performances and exhibition installation.
Amanda Coogan is an internationally recognised and critically acclaimed artist working across media; through live art, performance, photography and video.
