Púca show comes to Riverbank
Niamh Lawlor, a veteran performer from Púca for nearly 30 years, counts her ancestors on her very bones and brings them back to life on stage
A PERSONAL yet universal show will take place in the Riverbank Arts Centre this week.
Kildare theatre artist and writer Emma Finegan is directing a new show which will have its local premiere in Riverbank Arts Centre on Thursday 14 November starting at 8pm.
A new original piece from Púca for adults is a fitting celebration of Samhain, All Soul’s and The Day of the Dead.
Niamh Lawlor, a veteran performer from Púca for nearly 30 years, counts her ancestors on her very bones and brings them back to life on stage. Vital theatrical storytelling invites you to meditate on family, memory and rituals of grieving and how to embrace the bittersweet turns of the cycle of life.
At this time of year, they say, the veil between our world and the next is at its thinnest. Once we would have set an extra place at the table, left the door unlocked lit a candle for each of our loved lost kin at Halloween and remembered our dearly departed throughout the month of November.
This will be among the opening performances of a very personal yet universal show that has been crafted over several years. A work in progress was well received by test audiences. Tickets from the Riverbank Arts Centre through 045 448 327 or https://riverbank.ie.
