Arán & Im is a theatrical performance in which Manchán Magan bakes sourdough bread for 70 minutes while offering insights into the wonders of the Irish language – exploring potent words of landscape, terms of intuition and insight, and the many phrases that bring to life the mysterious glory of our natural world. The show is a celebration of language, land and local Irish food, with freshly-baked traditional sourdough bread for the audience to slice and spread with butter they churn themselves from Irish cream. (Knowledge of Irish is not required.)

Arán & Im had a nationwide tour with the Abbey Theatre in 2018. In Autumn 2019 it toured widely again. In Spring 2022 it toured 16 cities, 13 states and 2 provinces in USA and Canada. It will tour the west coast of North America in 2023.

Written & presented by Manchán Magan. Set by Tom de Paor. Originally produced by the Abbey Theatre. Production assistance from Once Off Productions.

Is taibhiú drámaíochta é Arán & Im ina bhácálann Manchán arán taos géar ar feadh uair a chloig fad is a thugann sé léargas ar iontaisí na Gaeilge; ag ceiliúradh focail mealltacha a bhaineann le tír-dhreach, iomas agus léirstean, chomh maith le abairtí a thugann beocht de chumhacht agus mistéir an saoil nádúrtha. Is ceiliúradh é ar theanga, tír agus bia áitiúil Éireannaigh, le arán traidisiúnta taos géar atá úr-bhácáilte, agus ar féidir leis an lucht féachana im a chur air atá maistrithe acu féin.
