Theater Club: Dolores
A musical storytelling performance where Saga Eserstam and Hans Ericsson explore the melodic and rhythmic world that characterizes Dolores and The Cranberries' music.
Dolores O'Riordan was raised in a strict Catholic working-class home in the community of Limerick, Ireland. She grew up in a place where girls were expected to be subservient and where their life's work was to take care of children and the home.
For Dolores, it was difficult to stay in the background as her inherent strength and power found musical expression early on. At 18, she became the frontwoman of the band The Cranberries and together they became unstoppable.
With her powerful and emotional voice, she touched millions of fans around the world and she used her platform to break the stigma around mental illness by speaking openly about her own experiences. With her total stage presence and a voice that demanded to be heard, she became a role model and a champion, not to mention.
In the musical storytelling performance Dolores -Our Lady Of Sorrows, Saga Eserstam and Hans Ericsson explore the melodious and rhythmic world that characterizes Dolores and The Cranberries music. With a starting point in alternative pop, they take a careful approach to a fascinating life story that leaves no one untouched.
