Tá clú agus cail ar “oícheanta áirneáil”, “bothántaíocht” nó Ball Nights fé mar a ghlaoitear orthu i gCorca Dhuibhne agus gan dabht ‘siad na traidisiúin a chaomhnaigh ár gceol agus ár gcultúr Gaelach le blianta fada. Oícheanta a thug daoine le céile chun ceol, amhráin, rince, agus scéalta a roinnt lena gcomharsana agus lena gcairde. Maireann an oidhreacht seo i gCorca Dhuibhne, ceantar Gaeltachta nuair a thagann ceoltóirí, filí, agus ealaíontóirí le chéile chun macalla a bhaint as na glúnta a chuaigh romhainn.
Is seó nua é Ball Nights atá curtha i láthair ag an mbanna ceoil Cuas i dteannta rinceoirí ó Sheit Chorca Dhuibhne, an file Dairena Ní Chinnéide, agus an ealaíontóir, Dómhnal Ó Bric. Tabharfaidh siad fuinneamh nua do na seana thraidisiúin seo nuair a thagann siad le chéile chun sprid, beocht, agus fiántas Chiarraí Thiar a roinnt le sluaite ar fud fad na hÉireann.
Sa chuir i láthair 90-neomat seo, beidh sleamhnáin agus polcaí bríomhara, seana amhráin a théann siar na céadta bliain, agus válsaí aoibhne a thugann cuireadh don slua páirt a ghlacadh san eispéireas. Beidh ealaín agus dánta, spreagtha ag na cúig fhigiúir do sheit Chorca Dhuibhne, sníofa le chéile chun scéal saibhir ár dtraidisiúin a insint le ceol, teanga, ealaín, agus rince.
Irish traditional arts and culture have been lovingly passed down through generations, sustained by the vibrant custom of country house dancing, known as bothántaíocht, oícheanta airneáil, or as it is often known in West Kerry, “Ball Nights,”. This cherished tradition brought neighbours together to share music, song, dance, and storytelling. Today, this rich legacy continues to thrive in Corca Dhuibhne, where music, poetry, and visual art blend seamlessly, connecting generations past and present.
Ball Nights is a new production led by the celebrated West Kerry band Cuas, alongside the dynamic dancers of Seit Chorca Dhuibhne, poet Dairena Ní Chinnéide, and artist Domhnall Ó Bric. Together, they breathe fresh life into these community traditions. Audiences across Ireland will experience first-hand the wild energy and distinctive spirit of West Kerry — singing songs, joining the dancing, and becoming part of an immersive celebration of place and culture.
This 90-minute, multi-disciplinary performance features energetic slides and polkas, timeless traditional songs that span centuries, and captivating waltzes that invite audience participation. Art and poetry inspired by the five figures of Seit Chorca Dhuibhne are seamlessly interwoven, creating a rich tapestry of storytelling through sound, movement, and image.
