Description

Anatomy of shame reveals a secret hidden for many decades in the halls and grounds of Ireland’s mother and baby homes. Through dance theatre, the performers embody the real-life, true stories of women and children who were forcibly sent to or sought refuge in these “homes” in the 20th century. Secret deaths, secret burials, exposed truths, public shame.

Students engaged in secondary research to unearth the stories of these women and through a praxis of reflection, feminist embodiment, dance improvisation & choreography, voice and site-specific movement philosophies, Anatomy of Shame was created.
