TÚR NA nAMHRÁN: TIONSCADAL COHEN
THE TOWER OF SONG: THE COHEN PROJECT
Iniúchann Leonard Cohen gach aon ghné de nádúr an duine. Tagann tréithe agus tionchair éagsúla le chéile sna hamhráin aige - an misteachas Giúdach, an tráchtaireacht shearbh ar chúrsaí polaitíochta, an t-earótachas séimh - faightear sin agus tuilleadh in amhráin ar nós 'Suzanne', 'Hallelujah' agus 'First we take Manhattan', cuir i gcás. Tá Gaeilge mhaisiúil mhíorúilteach curtha ar liricí Cohen ag na filí Liam Ó Muirthile agus Gabriel Rosenstock. Is iad na hoirfidigh a chuirfidh an saothar breá seo inár láthair Liam Ó Maonlaí, David Blake agus Hilary Bow agus ina dteannta beidh an Bradd Pitt Light Orchestra. Tá íomhánna scáileáin meallacacha cruthaithe ag Margaret Lonergan don seó.
Leonard Cohen explores the human condition in all its facets. Jewish mysticism, wry political commentary, tender eroticism - all meet in the potent lyricism of his songs, from ‘Suzanne’ to ‘Hallelujah’ to ‘First we take Manhattan’. Túr na nAmhrán features exquisite Irish language versions of Cohen’s songs, translated by poets Liam Ó Muirthile and Gabriel Rosenstock. They will be performed by Liam Ó Maonlaí, David Blake, and Hilary Bow, with support from the Brad Pitt Light Orchestra. Margaret Lonergan has created stunning screen projections of the lyrics.
