MadDoG

A work of sublime horror reflecting on the maddened social order 

In MadDoG dancer and choreographer Lydia McGlinchey pays homage to the aesthetics of gothic, horror and heavy metal. Inspired by centuries-old lace techniques, she transforms the theatre into an impressive work of art where the scenography is the core, like a 'knot' connecting different elements and issues. 

The show's title refers to the madness of contemporary experience where images of mass killings follow electronics shop advertisements which follow images of photoshopped women on yachts. This experience of tightly bound disturbing contradictions is where McGlinchey sees knotting as a pertinent aesthetic stake. In MadDoG, the knot symbolises the impossibility of purity. 

Three performers and a musician take centre stage, combining spoken word, dance and music.
