Earthangel explores the relationship between sound and text, offering the listeners an opportunity to create their own unique internal piece of theatre, a moment to pause, to step away from the everyday and dream with the poet's images.

In the poet's words:

Two female voices in dialogue. Can they manage to create, to share, to exist in dialogue? That is much more difficult than we care to allow. To listen to someone else, especially if they seem to belong to another element, seems to me verging on the miraculous. It seldom happens anyway. Does it or does it not happen here? If so, if it does happen, if hearing happens, does that mean we learn anything? Perhaps the result of dialogue is not new understanding but a gift, a kind of poetry, a kind of music.

All poetry is sound reaching for the infinity within music.

Gaitkrash invite you to experience the world of Earthangel in any location of your choice. If you would like some suggestions, we offer the following:

- A churchyard

- A darkened space

- A park bench

- A wood

- On a height, a hilltop or a mountain

- Near water...

Audience members will receive a link to Earthangel on the date and time booked. The performance is 23 minutes long, and will be available for one hour only. You will need a strong internet connection, and the use of headphones/earbuds is encouraged for optimum sound quality.

If you would like to share your experience of the piece with us, we would love to hear from you! Please let us know how your chosen setting informed your exploration of Earthangel, the imagery created, and emotions felt. You can use our Earthangel discussion board here.

Gaitkrash was formed in 2007 by theatre artists Bernadette Cronin, Regina Crowley and sound and visual artist Mick O’Shea. The starting point of all our work is the alchemy of collaboration when different artistic filters come together to explore shared questions about human existence. The cornerstone of our exploration happens at the intersection between image, text and sound, in keeping with Arnold Schopenhauer’s thesis that when images are accompanied by sound, “the sound seems to open up their most secret sense and meaning, and to constitute the clearest commentary on them”. With each new project Gaitkrash continues to explore different entry-points to get at the nature of the creative process and to craft multi-modal performance events which share with the spectator new possibilities to experience and reflect.
