Brigid is a dance and sound performance inspired by the pre-Christian goddess Brigid linked to the origins of the Bean Sí (Banshee) myth and her caoineadh (keening). Radiant goddess of fire and wellsprings Brigid kindles creativity heals the wounded and guards the thresholds between life and death.The performance interlaces sonic and visual patterns in rhythmic interplay where dancing and keening summon wretched buried and imagined worlds. Incorporating and inventing Sean Nós (old-style) rituals Brigid unfolds through immersion and suspension reckoning with both the entanglement and the difference between grief and fear stirring encounters with living and unlived memories and the otherworldly.
