Ealaín na Gaeltachta & Galway 2020
Professional European artists from a range of disciplines including theatre, dance, visual art, literature & music collaborate to create a stunning new production about what happens when our world becomes contactless.
Project Description
Óró... is a live theatrical experience, fusing contemporary dance, theatre, music, poetry and visual art to tell a story about language, identity and survival.
Óró... will interrogate how we must re-imagine our society post Covid-19 to ensure our continued existence on this planet, not just physically and economically, but also culturally.
By coming together and producing a shared response to this worldwide crisis in six European minority languages, Óró... demonstrates the importance of diversity in all spheres of life and the power of collaboration as these wonderful artists combine their talent and experience with that of their European partners to create a work that resonates powerfully, personally and universally.
Óró.. will be performed for a limited run in a large factory space in An Cheathrú Rua in the Connemara Gaeltacht in September culminating on the European day of languages – Sep 26th. The scale of the performance space enables us to adhere comfortably to social distancing guidelines.
