Solas Nua presents a Double Billing of Summertime and Ar Ais Arís.
Summertime
by Murmuration
Murmuration and Solas Nua present Summertime, a live performance enhanced through headphones in an intimate, storytelling experience.
“I try not to listen
But I don’t think he’s realised
Just drinks his pint
Like everything’s alright.”
This production offers a fresh spin of a romance story between Stash, an artist who works in a pub, and Steve, her boyfriend. With Stash's voice heard in the left headphone and Steve's in the right, the nuances of their relationship unfold simultaneously as they tell audiences how their relationship fell apart and found itself again - in unison. One thoughtless comment knocks the pair out of sync, and the fallout causes a rift that only deepens over the course of a summer. Hear both sides of the story, intricately rendered with a dynamic sound design from Jenny O'Malley, that synthesizes in the end with deep listening of dual perspectives. Praised by Dublin's The Arts Review as ""heartfelt, genius, and beautifully executed.""
Ar Ais Arís
by Brú Theatre
A moment of departure. A moment of return. A moment of reckoning.
Ar Ais Arís is a groundbreaking work from Brú Theatre that combines Irish language, literature, and visual poetry. Having captivated both sides of the Atlantic and making its US premiere with Solas Nua, Ar Ais Arís is hailed by the Irish Times as ""absorbing, evocative and sometimes unsettling."" In this work, Brú’s team of performers, creators, designers, and composers have come together to create three unique 180° films, immersing audiences in a fusion of movement, text, music, and Connemara landscape through the use of VR headsets.
