The Casement Project - T01802345033In 1916, British peer Roger Casement was hanged in Pentonville Prison. Knighted for exposing human rights abuses in the Congo and Amazon, Roger Casement's support for Irish nationalism during WW1 was a British scandal. In 1916, his sex with men was even more scandalous and 100 years later, Butterflies and Bones uses dance and the memory of Casement to address today's questions of belonging and becoming. This new work, performed by six dancers, is part of larger choreography of bodies and ideas by Fearghus ? Conch?ir addressing the legacy of 1916, and is a major project in the national and international Ireland 2016 Centenary Programme and also part of 14-18 NOW, the UK's First World War Centenary Cultural Programme.Choreographer Fearghus O Conchuir.
