The Surge: An Ode to Sinéad O'Connor is a world premiere dance work conceived, choreographed, and directed by Tony Award-winning choreographer Sonya Tayeh, set to the music of Sinéad O'Connor. The work is a meditation on voice, protest, and the courage to live a life that defies the norm, with O'Connor's iconic music and narration from her memoir weaving through Tayeh's choreography. Performed by a company of ten women — Betsy Cooper, Alison Clancy, Gabrielle Malone, Mor Mendel, Amy Miller, Jennifer Nugent, Karine Plantadit, Lisa Race, Monique Smith, and Jin Ju Song-Begin — the piece affirms the passing of time as a privilege carrying beauty and experience. A Joyce Theater and Factory International production, it runs June 25–27, 2026 at The Hall, Aviva Studios, Manchester.
