    The Arts – What’s On in Oct/Nov 2018

    0
    By Senior Times on October 19, 2018 Features, The Arts

    The Arts continues to engage our imaginations as the nights draw in and the cold mornings induce shivers.

    Painter Mary Swanzy had a remarkable life, that saw her leave Ireland to travel widely including sailing to Hawaii and Samoa in the 1920s.  Despite her obvious skill and talent, she herself was very conscious that her gender impacted negatively on her career.  After the War of Independence when her cousin was killed by the IRA, she lived in London in a self-imposed exile.  The IMMA exhibition is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with her extraordinary achievements and reinstate her as a Modern Irish Master. (From Oct 23 / www.imma.ie)

    Speaking of wars, Junk Ensemble one of Ireland’s leading voices in dance theatre is bringing their acclaimed production Soldier Still on tour. A combination of dance and theatre and gorgeous design performed by four exceptional dancers and former Captain, Dr Tom Clonan, the production is a poetic and human perspective of the impact of violence. Blending movement, text, music, real stories and real people, Soldier Still explores the vulnerability, the viciousness and the trauma of violence. (more from www.junkensemble.com)

    Woman Undone is a re-imagining of the extraordinary life of one of Ireland’s best loved singers Mary Coughlan. Created by award-winning Irish theatre company Brokentalkers and Mary Coughlan in collaboration with renowned Icelandic composer and music producer Valgeir Sigurdsson. It tells the story of a young woman who endured physical and sexual abuse, addiction and mental illness; whose discovery of art and music was instrumental in helping her to overcome trauma. The all-female cast including Mary Coughlan, Dublin-based folk pop quartet Mongoose, and dancer Erin O’Reilly. (www.projectartscentre.ie/brokentalkers)

    Music Network bring us two highly gifted young soloists, Russian violinist Yury Revich and German cellist Benedict Kloeckner, sharing a stage for the first time in Ireland. A breath-taking journey through some of the most exquisite pieces in the classical canon including works by J.S. Bach, Reinhold Glière, Fritz Kreisler, Alessandro Rolla, Niccolò Paganini, Eugène Ysaÿe, Maurice Ravel is promised.  A new work by Irish composer Sebastian Adams has been commissioned specially for this tour. (www.musicnetwork.ie)

    Film director Mike Leigh orchestrates a superb ensemble cast in Peterloo, a rousing tale of working class uprising and its violent suppression in Manchester in 1819. It draws together so many of Leigh’s preoccupations: class consciousness, family dynamics, hypocrisy, humanism and the foibles of the male ego. It also led directly to the foundation of the Manchester Guardian. Starring Maxine Peake and Rory Kinnear.

    If you are looking for a fight closer to home then Katie, a study of boxer Katie Taylor as she looks to reinstate her life after professional and personal upheaval, opens on October 26.
