Claire Cunningham

In a starkly beautiful dance of transcendence and struggle, renowned performer Claire Cunningham delves into the work of medieval painter Hieronymous Bosch, to explore religion, religious art, and the judgment of souls and bodies.

Through tests of both body and faith, Give Me A Reason To Live draws upon imagery of disabled people in Bosch's apocalyptic paintings to question present perspectives on 'otherness' and 'difference'.

Powerfully physical, visually striking, and set to a mesmerising score, Give Me a Reason to Live invites you to consider your own empathy, sympathy or indifference, in a work of both generosity and brutal immediacy.
