Everyone knows somebody who has suffered from cancer. Being a patient puts everything into perspective and gives one time to reflect. As a breast cancer survivor, Karen’s journey through the medical system has inspired her to explore the vulnerability, chaos and humour of that experience. Warrior takes us on a dreamlike voyage, navigating the stormy seas of fragility, anxiety, patience, ignorance and good, old-fashioned mortality. In this beautifully shot theatre-film, our anti-heroine, Katherine Kirk, shows the many sides to her troubled mind as she time-travels through treatment, while also exploring her relationship with her brother Barry. This is a universal story of how we derive strength by turning adversity into opportunity.
Music and comedy have always played an important part in Karen’s work and are central to this piece. Collaborating with leading musicians and actors, Egan fuses drama, music and satire in an entertaining and provocative way, presenting the idea of patient as both warrior and prey. In her parallel universe, Katherine explores the light and dark sides of what cancer can do to a family and celebrates the warrior within us all.
The talented cast also includes actors and musicians Ruth McGill, Rory Pierce, Damian Evans and Cian Boylan.
