The Surge: An Ode to Sinéad O'Connor

1 upcoming performance in New York

Now at The Joyce Theater, *The Surge: An Ode to Sinéad O’Connor* is a dance work shaped around the Irish singer-songwriter’s public life rather than a linear biography. It draws on O’Connor’s activism and spiritual searching, including her blunt attention to child abuse, human rights, racism, and her own mental-health disclosures. Featured performers include The Surge and Sinéad O’Connor, whose recorded presence functions as both archive and provocation. The piece treats celebrity as a public document, and its restraint lets the politics land without editorializing.
