Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre

A multi-media performance with Diarmuid Mac Diarmada, Tara Baoth Mooney and Eimear Reidy

West Cork Arts Centre

The Carrowkeel cairns rise not just as monuments, but as portals - thresholds between flesh and spirit, light and shadow, the present and the timeless. Silence clings to stone; the mystery is deliberate. These are not tombs, but reliquaries or sanctuaries of transition. To enter is to descend into the womb of the earth, where the dead do not sleep, but dream. There is no scripture here, only silence. Incantations rise like smoke, breath fills stone chambers, and time softens. Carrowkeel is a mirror of the cosmos—land as spirit, passage as breath. The wind moves differently there. The air listens.&nbsp;The performance will take place in a darkened space with the audience and musicians situated within a four speaker soundscape. It follows the performance at last year’s Skibbereen Arts Festival of the acclaimed The Hag’s Hollow which was the first of a three-part cycle of soundscapes based on the mysterious megalithic site nestled in the Briclieve mountains at Carrowkeel, Co Sligo. With many thanks to archaeologist Sam Moore .Tara Baoth Mooney is an interdisciplinary artist whose work encompasses sound, performance, textiles, drawing and video. Diarmuid Mac Diarmada is a musician, visual artist and producer. Eimear Reidy is a cellist with a diverse musical practice ranging from historical performance practice to sound art.
