My Life in Dresses is part oral history, part performance. Its about how we remember things, how we connect with people and the world around us.
Who will tell the story of your life long after you are gone? Sorcha Kenny believes her dresses will. Sparked by a fascination for second-hand garments, she embarked on a journey to uncover the real life stories behind the dresses lingering in wardrobes all over the country. Like photographs, they are mementos of a treasured past. Join Sorcha and her best friend Fiona as they introduce you to her virtual wardrobe of stories. The walls can’t talk but the dresses sure can.
Be a part of the project: (Pre Show cup of tea and chat: 1 hour before the performance in the foyer) Sorcha would love to hear the stories behind your dresses. Perhaps its the dress you held onto from your past. The dress you could not give away because it has a special significance in your life, it triggers a memory. Maybe its the one you wore the day you met the love of your life or perhaps it reminds you of a loved one who is no longer here…… or
