SiamsaMaurice Mc Cafferty , Claddagh Hall, Nimmo's Pier, Co. GalwaySiamsa na Gaillimhe's explosive mix of music, song, dance and folk drama provides a heady introduction to the finest in Irish culture. From fast and furious jigs to madcap reels, our diverse and exhilarating artistic tradition is showcased in a spirited celebration of the rich heritage of the West of Ireland. Seventeen singers, musicians and dancers in traditional dress whirl through an evening packed with rhythm and energy, cutting across all language boundaries, as time is not given to lengthy introductions in any language. Instead, two different dance traditions - skillful set dancing, and the technically intricate step dance - are performed, echoing the strong traditional rhythms played by All Ireland award winning musicians. Tin whistle, fiddle, flute, harp, bodhran, accordion, concertina and mandolin players fuse the oldest tunes and dance music with arrangements by modern Irish composers such as Sean O'Riada and Charlie Lennon, giving a dynamic and powerful demonstration of Irish music today. Finally, specially devised folk dramas depict the old Irish feast days, carefully evoking their unique superstitions and customs through associated song, music and drama. Turf cutters, sickle harvesters and twig dancers recreate the habits of ancient life; Saint Brigid's Crosses are woven, fishing nets cast, and straw clad mummers perform in vivid portrayals of the rich folk traditions of Ireland. Located at the very heart of the city, Galway's oldest and most intimate theatre, an Taibhdhearc, is the home of Siamsa na Gaillimhe. Founded in 1928, this national theatre for the irish language resounds each week night throughout the summer with Siamsa's broadly acclaimed presentations of Irish culture. For an exuberant night's entertainment of Irish music, singing and dancing, Siamsa na Gaillimhe's captivating and lively approach to traditional arts is unparalleled. | |
