IMRAM Féile Litríochta Gaeilge
Tagann an reacaireacht agus an ceol nua-chumtha ag Steve Cooney le chéile sa léiriúchán seo, An Craiceann agus a Luach – bunaithe ar an scéal béaloidis faoin mhaighdean mhara ar cuireadh iachall uirthi fear daonna a phósadh. Cíortar achan réimse den scéal agus an lucht éisteachta á mealladh ar thuras intinne, ag smaoineamh ar an mhaighdean mhara ar fágadh ina hiasc ar talamh. Tá léargas ar an éiceolaíocht agus ar an fheimineachas – agus ar litríocht arsa na nGael: an rúraíocht, an fhiannaíocht, agus an mhiotaseolaíocht.
A traditional storyteller known for captivating live performances, Eithne Ní Ghallchobhair is the author of the critically acclaimed An Craiceann agus a Luach, a retelling in verse of the myth of the mermaid who marries a mortal man after he has secretly stolen and hidden the magic cloak she needs to return to her underwater world. This spellbinding show features Eithne reading to a score written by composer and guitar genius Steve Cooney, who will be joined by a stellar cast of musicians including Cormac Breathnach, Billy Mag Fhloinn, Robbie Perry, Dermot Byrne and Odhrán Ó Casaide.
