The Holding Bones as part of The Sc\u00e9al Festival of Puppetry & Storytelling

In an artist’s studio, shadows talk, objects come alive and she draws her very bones to overcome loss and celebrate love and the cycle of life.
The Holding Bones lovingly recalls a host of characters – songsters, storytellers and mischief makers. In paying playful homage to her ancestors, Niamh Lawlor contemplates the purpose of life.
Her life.
Set in her studio she draws upon her skills as a puppet maker and visual artist to enrich the tale she has to tell, as funny as it is deeply moving.
Age Suitability (Adults)

Scéal Puppet Festival curated by Irish Unima, in association with The Museum of Childhood Ireland
