Glamorous, independent and confident. Force fed toast and left to burn to death.
Bright Cleary’s husband believed her to have been replaced by a fairy; a fairy one inch taller than his wife. This wife was a rare creature. She could earn her own living.
I will collaborate with dancer Agnieszka Mencel to explore the imagery of this true story, which details domestic violence and suspicion of women in Ireland at the turn of the century with a mysterious and mythological edge. A truly gruesome story that stands in contrast to the commonly held image of fairies as tiny, beautiful girls.
