In 1992, Shuhada' (Sinéad O’Connor) took her mother’s bedhead portrait of the Pope to Saturday Night Live - and ripped it to pieces - shattering her pop career in one swift sweep, whilst igniting her legacy as a fearless social activist.
In 1997, MT (Marie Thérèse) set off across Ireland on her green steed, cycling through the rocky landscapes of abandoned faith, ancestral hunger, and intergenerational rage - half expecting to bump into Sinéad amongst her many long-lost cousins.In this 60-minute musical deep dive, MT sings her way home — unearthing lost languages, reminiscing upon her travels, revisiting Sinéad’s genre-defying journey - from Irish trad, to pop, to punk, to rap, to reggae - to imagine - what might Shuhada Sadaqat have sung next?When appointed leaders fail us,We look to the stars,To light the path.
