Episode 32
Encore with Claire O'Brien
Tuesday, 8 October 2024 - 38 minutes
This week's Encore hears from Sightless Cinema, which brings its new show 'Home' to Dunamaise Theatre on Thursday night. It features a blind and visually impaired cast bringing an audio experience to a blindfolded audience - director Ciaran Taylor has the lowdown.
Staying in Portlaoise, for a show also on in the Dunamaise theatre is a Emily Kilkenny Roddy, a dancer from Portlaoise and rehearsal director with Catherine Young Dance. Their dance performance is called 'Floating on a Dead Sea' and features a number of Palestinian dancers and a documentary filmed in Palestine in 2019. It brings to life everyday life in Palestine in a more peaceful time than it knows now.
Also, writer Margaret Kiernan from Mullingar has just published her debut collection of poetry with Alba Press. It's called A Mirage of Lost Things and she tells Claire O'Brien all about the inspiration for it.
