'A powerful story...A beautiful and moving production ...A stunning piece'

'This tender and moving production looks at wilful silence and its impact on truth'

Emma Hannon | Programme Manager | Dublin Fringe Festival

Fifty years ago, a young man was the final victim in an infamous series of horrific murders, yet of all the victims, his is the only story surrounded by silence. Why?

The Lost Hours is dance-meets-theatre-meets documentary. An elegy for a lost boy; this performance is a fiction that may just tell the truth; a poetic response to real events - featuring dance, text, video, audio of actual interviews, and reinterpretations of historically and thematically appropriate music from the period [1963-'65].
