Tickets are still available for Lunchtime Workshop: Earwicker’s Dream next Wednesday at 1pm. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary opportunity!
Following the success of their tour around James Joyce’s Ulysses, Janet Moran and Ronan Guilfoyle join forces again, this time to explore the intricacies of Joyce’s final novel Finnegan’s Wake, via ‘Earwicker’s Dream’: a fascinating journey through this classic book via jazz and spoken word. Janet is an award-winning actor/playwright and Ronan is one of Ireland’s best-known jazz musicians with an international career spanning more than forty years. Earwicker’s Dream is a concert piece that unites spoken word, jazz composition and improvisation, and explores the central characters in the book.
Janet and Ronan will discuss how they put the project together, how they made the choices on choosing text, how the music interacts with the spoken word, and how the improvisation contained in the music allows for real-time interaction between Joyce’s prose and creative music. The workshop will include live demonstrations of how the text and music work together and promises to be a fascinating insight into a new look at one of the seminal books of the 20th century.
The full concert piece will be performed at the Mermaid Arts Centre in Bray, County Wicklow, on Thursday, 24 October 2024.
Tickets are €10.
