The award-winning Dumbworld, in collaboration with the Ulster Orchestra, has teamed up with 150 young people from Northern Ireland – North Belfast Youth Choir, Codetta, Codetta Youth Choir, Scoil Mhuire (Buncrana) and Ulster University Chamber Choir – to create a large-scale work that is a provocative and urgent response to the world of 2019.
A passionate study of gender, politics and mental health… Fortnite, zooz and human rights… new words for the Oxford English Dictionary and the ‘orangeness’ of Trump… you can expect visceral, exhilarating music, singing and film from this inspiring, Youtubing, Instagramming, social media savvy, post-Millennial generation!
