A new theatre piece exploring both the beauty and the weight of keeping traditional Irish music alive.

Event Overview

Danny O’Mahony has dedicated his life to the mastery of his instrument as well as to the preservation and performance of Irish traditional music.

Now, after 40 years of breathing life into centuries-old tunes, Danny revisits pivotal moments from his past — his first taste of music as a child, the mentors who shaped him and the unrelenting pursuit of mastery that left room for little else. Alongside Danny’s sublime live playing, Bellow features original electronic composition, new writing and contemporary dance, heightening the tension between past and present. Bellow is a new theatre performance exploring the weight of tradition, the capriciousness of memory and the artist’s need to express their true self.

"The piece in a most untraditional way is a hymn of praise to the accordion in the Irish music tradition." No More Workhorse

“An ingenious odd couple. The pairing of a traditional musician with a maker of contemporary theatre…occupies a rarefied zone.” The Irish Times

Bellow by Brokentalkers Written by Feidlim Cannon, Gary Keegan & Danny O’Mahony Featuring Danny O’Mahony, Gary Keegan & Emily Kilkenny Roddy Performances: May 27, 28, 29 & 30 at 8 pm
