Gile na Gealaí – Melody of the Moon : theatre for the very young!
Graffiti Theatre Company, Cork, is proud to present our latest production for very young audiences in June.
Gile na Gealaí – Melody of the Moon is a beautiful and gentle piece of sensory theatre for the very young (0-3) and their adults. It weaves the story of the impossible love of a Fisherman for the beautiful Moon.
Draíocht agus drámaíocht ar thóraíocht na gealaí … tar linn ar thuras fileata trí fhuaimeanna agus íomhánna thar sáile is spéire.
As soon as they walk in the door, the children enter into a world of sounds and images. The world of the Fisherman’s harbour, watched over by the faraway Moon in her clouds where from the Fisherman sails his boat over the silver sea and the Moon descends from a Renaissance sky. There is no spoken language: he sings in English and she in Irish – their words and worlds can never meet.
Devised by the same creative team as the successful Blátha Bána – White Blossoms, Gile na Gealaí has been developed by Graffiti Theatre Company over the past two years, including a special residency with New Visions New Voices at the Kennedy Centre, Washington 2014.
Cruthaithe don lucht féachana is óige (0-3 bliain) ag an bhfoireann ealaíon chéanna a chruthaigh Blátha Bána, beidh Gile na Gealaí le breathnú i Graffiti Theatre i Mí an Mheithimh.
