Yes and Yes

Four dance artists wearing floral masks and gloves, pulling, pushing, and cradling one another mid-performance. Steve O'Connor

Yes and Yes takes its title from the final episode of Ulysses, which both begins and ends with a “yes.” This work from the acclaimed Irish contemporary choreographer Liz Roche journeys through the chapters of James Joyce's seminal novel to explore its sensuality, absurdity, release, and resignation in movement with four extraordinary dancers and through film, sound, and design. Performed by Mufutau Yusuf, Sarah Cerneaux, Grace Cuny, and Toon Theunissen.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
