Sunday Bloody Sunday, Cathérine Moerkerke

On January 30, 1972, a peaceful protest march in Northern Ireland ended in tragedy: thirteen protesters died when British soldiers opened fire. The drama went around the world and found an unforgettable voice in U2’s iconic protest song Sunday Bloody Sunday. In this performance, Cathérine Moerkerke takes you along crucial moments from recent world history. Stories of anger, sadness, and resistance are connected with music by, among others, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, PJ Harvey, and Bloc Party. Songs that not only reflect the spirit of the times, but also shape the collective memory. What happened when the Twin Towers collapsed? How did New York feel when Bin Laden was arrested? Cathérine brings personal stories and musical milestones together in a gripping performance that shows how music helps us understand, process, and remember.
