Over the weekend we were very excited to be part of the Yes! Festival 2024 We had brilliant international performers come and explore their own journeys as well as celebrate the infamous journey in James Joyce’s Ulysses. Friday saw De Dora (Ioana Ofelia and Daniela Groza from Cluj in Romania) use song, film and storytelling to explore personal perspectives of immigration, longing and relationships. Saturday saw our gallery transformed by The Uxío Novoneyra Foundation (from Lugo, Spain) to create a bespoke response to Lestrygonians from Joyce’s Ulysses. Using powerful movement, readings, dance and bread making they created a fantastically unique live experience. Yes Derry
