In the 1920’s - Lucia, the daughter of James Joyce the celebrated writer of Ulysses - was fêted in Paris as a dancer with a starry future ahead of her. As a critic in the Paris Times noted: “When she reaches her full capacity for rhythmic dancing, James Joyce may yet be known as his daughter’s father.” Sadly and for reasons that are sill unclear, following a disastrous relationship with Samuel Beckett, Lucia spent most of the rest of her life in mental institutions and was eventually diagnosed as Schizophrenic by Carl Jung. This project seek to understand why Lucia stopped dancing and what might she have become had she been brought up in a less dysfunctional family.
