When Dreaming Molly

When Dreaming Molly is a work is based on the solo Bloom, first created and performed by Margie Gillis in 1989. Danced to Molly’s sections of Molly’s famous and iconic monologue from James Joyce’s Ulysses. The dance vocabulary is entirely in the art of articulate nuance. Innovative, raw, and vulnerable. The work explores the joy and challenge of physically matching the stream of consciousness, and the wildness of the mind, as it searches for transformation and finally reaches the ultimate: “Yes”. Troy Ogilvie’s Molly is petulant, savvy, curious and brave. Louis-Martin Charest’s vision of the film version follows in Joyce’s invention and plays with the late night, dream like ramblings of Molly. Phrases of thought come and go, finally tumbling to conclusion.
