About the event
My Boyfriend Bonhoeffer is a haunting exploration of the artist’s imagined romance with Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German prophet, theologian, and martyr living under the oppressive Third Reich regime. Part pillow-talk, part ghost-story: this experimental theater piece explores our own country’s present state of collapse through the lens of a young woman's wrestling, and through the complicated yet prophetic faith of a young man who did the right thing amidst impossible circumstances.
Performances will be held at counter/current's headquarters, Studio 111, in the Opera House building in Downtown Belfast. Seating is extremely limited - arrive early to grab one of our chairs; the rest of the seating will be on cozy pillows on the rug.
This performance is part of counter/current:collective's Devising Lab and is an exciting opportunity to see an original work in progress. A post show discussion with counter/current:collective's company members will take place after the performance.
