Bunaithe ar scoil i mBaile Átha Cliath ag deireadh na hochtóidí, tá an banna Kíla ar cheann de na buíon is nuálaí agus is spreagúla in Éirinn. Cé go bhfuil a gcuid ceoil fréamhaithe i ndúchas ceol na hÉireann cloistear riain ceol na cruinne ag fí trína shaothair. D'fhéadfaí ceol nua-dúchasach a thabhairt ar a stíl mar go gcumann siad na hamhráin agus foinn iad féin.

Sa léiriú seo de Kíla 5 gheofar deis speisialta na hamhráin bodhrán agus na foinn feadóige agus píopaí uileann a chlos á dtionlacan ag an ngiotár, bouzouki, mandóilín, djembe agus dord-ghiotár.

CEOLCHOIRM DRAÍOCHTRÚIL AR AN BHFARRAIGE MHÓR GHORM!

Formed at a Dublin school in the late eighties, Kíla are one of Ireland's most innovative and exciting bands. Although their music is rooted in Irish tradition, traces of world music can be heard through their works. Their style could be called nua - trad music because they compose the songs and tunes themselves.

In this performance of Kíla 5 there will be a special opportunity to hear the bodhran songs and the flute tunes and all pipes accompanied by the guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, djembe and bass guitar.

MAGICAL CONCERT ON THE BIG BLUE SEA!

An experience of Beckett’s play through headphones in promenade.

First broadcast in 1963, Cascando begins with the curious character Opener (Daniel Reardon) setting the scene: the month of May, a time of “reawakening”. The Opener commands two other presences: the winding Voice (Andrew Bennett) caught between arrest (” – stories … if you could finish it …”) and progress (“- nearly … just a few more … a few more”), and Music (designed by Jimmy Eadie), whole and forceful.

Director Gavin Quinn, dramaturg Nicholas Johnson and designer Aedín Cosgrove recognise this as a journey. The audience are sent walking in an outdoor landscape, wearing cloaks and listening to the play on headphones. The unhurried pace of Bennett’s deep and riveting voice provides a rhythm for our steps, as we listen to Voice’s struggle to tell a story.

The absent figure named Woburn is identified by his “same old coat” and vague memories of a cave or shelter. As the same-dressed audience pass each other in the dark surroundings, it appears that images of the text have been slyly extracted. Has the audience been unknowingly cast as the play’s mystifying wanderer?

Along this journey, the tremendous pulse of Eadie’s music threatens to overwhelm. It rises in a wave of crashing strings, eventually settling to ring, pining, with Voice’s efforts. If you suspected that Woburn’s journey resembled a pilgrimage, Reardon’s sullen Opener somewhat confirms it, suggesting God and a parable: “two outings and a return, to the village, to the inn”.
