    Spike Cello Festival with Yocella

    What’s On in the Arts in February 2019

    0
    By Senior Times on January 31, 2019 Features, The Arts

    Theatre is everywhere this season with a variety of shows and performances to suit all tastes. Louise White is a theatre and performance maker who excels in designing exciting and alternative experiences for audiences. A title like, This is the Funeral of Your Life, is certainly guaranteed to get your attention. Three performers – a dancer, an actor and a mezzo soprano – create a playful environment that invites audiences to examine the possibilities around their own personal legacy including the fragility of life, families, humour and love; to play a game of imagination in a warm and supportive encounter with…themselves. Check louisewhiteperformance.com for more.

    On Blueberry Hill by Sebastian Barry is just back from its off Broadway run for a quick zip around the country. Fishamble theatre company bring together actors Niall Buggy and David Ganly once again to play best of friends and worst of enemies, Christy and PJ.  This new play explores murder, forgiveness, survival and, ultimately, love in the prison of the human heart. See fishamble.com for details on venues and dates.

    Alice in Wonderland is a classic but Sligo company, Blue Raincoat are bringing a new interpretation. Alice’s tumble down the rabbit hole precipitates her entry into a world full of fantastical people, and strange and unpredictable events. This promises to be a visually sumptuous and physical re-telling of Lewis Carroll’s beloved work. Booking at projectartscentre.ie

    You may think the cello is a rather sedate instrument but Spike, Dublin’s alternative cello festival, begs to differ. It opens with Kitty Maguire leading one of her unique “Yocella” classes – a blissful “yin” yoga class accompanied by cello. Other highlights include: cellos playing a computer game; an older cousin of the cello, the viol putting in an appearance; and new work from talented performers from home and abroad.
