Poetry, story, and music combine in this bilingual journey through time, memory, and nostalgia.
Wrapped in the warm sounds of the harp and fiddle, audiences will be invited to lift the metaphorical gate and approach the well of memory, accompanied by those in our lives who exist now in memory alone. As we slip between song and story, Irish and English, this mesmerising and immersive event encourages you to embrace vulnerability, humanity, and your own personal history.
