About this event

NCH present Perspectives: Blue Now with Simon Fisher Turner, Russell Tovey, Travis Alabanza, Jay Bernard, Joelle Taylor and Lucy Railton.

BLUE was Derek Jarman’s final film, completely shortly before his death in 1994. A single unchanging shot of celestial blue is accompanied by a kaleidoscopic soundtrack of voices and music, and we hear Jarman reflecting on his own AIDS-related illnesses, on his mortality, and on loved ones lost to the virus.

Simon Fisher Turner, who created the original soundtrack of the film in 1994, performs a new live score, created in collaboration with cellist and composer Lucy Railton. Directed by Neil Bartlett, BLUE NOW’s cast features four extraordinary contemporary voices.

Tickets €15, €20, €25
