First, we are on a pier in Casla, Connemara as a mother silently says goodbye to her first born, off to America and never to return, a piece based on Máirtín Ó Cadhain’s short story, An Bhlian 1912. Next, we’re on a mountain top as a woman emigrates home from England, inspired by Nóra Mharcuis Bhig by Pádraic Ó Conaire. We finish in a therapy room, as a modern woman faces issues inherited from generations of displaced women, inspired by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill’s collection of poetry The Assimilated Merfolk.

Sit by the River Corrib, feel the wind and then lose yourself in this powerful, provocative and contemporary take on some of the finest writing in the Irish language.
