An unflinching blend of fiction and biography, Specky Clark traces the journey of choreographer Oona Doherty’s great-great-grandfather as he arrives in Belfast. Lifting the veil on a Halloween night, ten international performers breathe life into this powerful and darkly funny narrative.

With music by Maxime Jerry Fraisse, incorporating both new and existing tracks from the contemporary Irish folk band Lankum.
