Description
As part of the celebrations marking the centenary of James Joyce's Ulysses taking place in Dublin and globally on the 16th of June 2022, Axis Ballymun presented the world premiere of 'LUCIA' - a suite for guitar and strings composed by multi-award nominated musician Joseph Chester. Lucia Joyce spent 47 years in institutions as a result of mental illness, including long periods in isolation. She died in the notoriously cruel St. Andrew's asylum, Northampton at the age of 75. And yet, in her youth she had shown enormous potential, as a dancer and illustrator. Over the course of two years, Chester took ten key moments from the life of Lucia Joyce, ten facts of her existence, and composed a piece of music for each, to pay tribute to her, to bear witness to her and, in some fantastical, imaginary way, let her speak. The Paris Times wrote that, "James Joyce may yet be known as his daughter's father." Some say she was a muse for Finnegans Wake. Her father described her as, "A fantastic being with a mind as clear and unsparing as the lightning." However, after undergoing tests, she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was committed in 1936. She would never know freedom again. -
