The Cold Sings

The Cold Sings explores themes of female identity and mental health, drawing from Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, her poetry and personal letters. The work captures our struggle with the inner self, our private strengths and societal entrapment through Plath’s personal mythology.

Mirroring the many selves of Plath, The Cold Sings blends dance, text, music and a 1950s setting into an intimate, visceral experience for the audience.

Performed by an exceptional cast of Irish and international dancers, singers and musicians and created by multi-award-winning dance innovators.

Junk Ensemble’s productions have garnered widespread praise both in Ireland and internationally.
