Experience – for the first time in Cork – the multi-media staging of multi-media staging of Sweeney’s Madness featuring modern Irish and Scottish Gaelic versions by poet Rody Gorman; with live music by composer Seán MacErlaine and singer Diane Ni Channáin; and screen projections by artist Margaret Lonergan.
Gorman’s Sweeney: An Intertonguing is a multilingual journey like none other – with poems in modern Irish and Scottish Gaelic, as well as English prose versions that burst with startling composite words charged with the homonyms and synonyms of the original Irish. It is an ocean of gorgeous lyric poems, delicate songs and tidal litanies in modern Irish, Scottish Gaelic and English.
