Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre

A multidisciplinary event by Noël O’Callaghan and Douglas Henderson

West Cork Arts Centre

This multidisciplinary event is a unique tribute to Rosa Luxemburg - revolutionary, feminist, visionary ecologist and rebel - featuring a hybrid of performance, painting, music, poetry and film with a Brechtian vibe.Conceived and presented by Noël O’Callaghan and Douglas Henderson, this event intertwines the life, death and legacy of Rosa Luxemburg (1871–1919) with remnants and recollections of Berlin’s war-torn past. From the poem ‘Du liegst | You lie’ by German-Jewish poet Paul Celan to present-day Berlin, it weaves through time and place, memory and character. It also traces the artists’ personal encounters with locations, terrains and people and the resulting imprint these have left on their emotional memory and how these personal timelines merge with historical events. Rosa Luxemburg’s anti-militarist stance during WWI is contrasted with Emmiline Pankhurst’s White Feather intimidatory enlistment campaign. White feathers collected from swans on the Berlin canal now transform this erstwhile badge of shame into a symbol of defiance and peace in her name.Noël O’Callaghan is a visual artist and performer. Douglas Henderson is a composer, producer and performer. They have lived in Berlin for many years and are now based in West Cork.
