This is an outdoor event
Within this playful, immersive experience, the merfolk sip seaweed tea inside eerie underwater buildings, Seagull-John cooks white birds over trash fires, and dreams from the future explore loss, rainbows, and sorrow in a liminal space gone awry with climate chaos. The magician (Ali Keohane) brings the audiences onto Hy-Brasil, the mythical disappearing island, while they walk around Inisheer listening to stories told by actors Mikel Murfi, Jenni Nikinmaa & Tonya Lenhart.
Duration approximately 1 hr – route approximately 2 kilometers outdoors, please wear proper walking shoes and dress according to the weather.

Tá an léiriú seo amuigh faoin aer.
San eachtra spraíúil tumthach seo tá lucht na farraige ag ól tae feamainne istigh i bhfoirgnimh aisteacha faoin uisce. Cócarálann ‘Seagull John’ éin bhána os cionn tinte bruscair agus i mbrionglóidí ón todhchaí iniúchtar caillteanas, tuair cheatha agus buairt i spás tairseachúil atá trína chéile de bharr anord aeráide. Tugann an draíodóir (Ali Keohane) an lucht éisteachta chuig Hy-Brasil, an t-oileán miotasach a imíonn as radharc, fad is a bhíonn siad ag siúl timpeall Inis Oírr ag éisteacht le scéalta a bhíonn á n-insint ag Mikel Murfi, Jenni Nikinmaa & Tonya Lenhart.
Aistear thart ar 2 chiliméadar taobh amuigh (timpeall 1 uair an chloig), ní mór bróga maithe siúil a chaitheamh agus a bheith gléasta don aimsir.
