The Shaking Bog presents WINGER OF THE BLUE: An Elegy for Joseph Campbell with Lisa Lambe & Marty Rea, Directed by Alan Gilsenan

Oak Glen

Winger Of The Blue: An Elegy for Joseph CampbellOutdoor Performance with Lisa Lambe &amp; Marty ReaWinger Of The Blue: An Elegy for Joseph Campbell‍&quot; I am the mountainy singer,The voice of the peasant&#x27;s dream,The cry of the wind on the wooded hill,The leap of the fish in the stream.&quot;- Joseph CampbellThe poet, scholar and patriot Joseph Campbell lived his later years in the Glencree Valley, dying in his beloved cottage at Lackendarragh in 1944. Perhaps best known for My Lagan Love, the beautiful song that celebrates his native Belfast, this outdoor performance remembers Campbell, the man whom Austin Clarke once called &quot;one of the rarest Gaelic minds of our times.&quot;A contemporary of Patrick Pearse and WB Yeats, Campbell was a complex man who wrote beautiful songs and poems and this Shaking Bog production will celebrate his somewhat forgotten legacy in both song and verse. In 1940, he wrote &quot;My cabin lies at the bottom of the Glencree valley floor. It&#x27;s a poor wild place, but the mountains around, and the bracken, and the liquid wailing note of the curlew are compensatory. I have painted up the interior of the shack - the outside is as Nature makes it..&quot; WINGER OF THE BLUE: An Elegy for Joseph Campbell attempts to conjure up the spirit of Campbell and bring his memory back to life amidst the landscape that he loved so deeply.Please note the nature trails have some steep hills, uneven ground, brambles and bracken underfoot means it&#x27;s easy to trip. Lots of nettles so sleeves and long trousers are highly recommended as well as sturdy footwear with good grips. Due to the nature and location of certain venues, levels of accessibility vary greatly. Please prepare according to the location information. Those attending should be of reasonable fitness. We advise you to be prepared for all weather, wear appropriate clothing and footwear and bring plenty of water. Midges in the Glencree Valley are plentiful, especially on cloudy days and in the evenings so we suggest coming prepared with long trousers, sleeves, hats (even nets) and insect repellent. The Wicklow Way is not a fully accessible venue.<a href="https://www.shakingbog.ie/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.shakingbog.ie/</a>
