A moment of departure.

A moment of return.

A moment of reckoning.

Ar Ais Arís is a commission as part of Galway 2020/ NUIG’s Aistriú project. Irish language literature and visual poetry are combined in virtual reality to make this work, inspired by texts from Máirtín Ó Cadhain, Pádraic Ó Conaire and Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill around the theme of migration. Brú’s team of performers, creators, designers and composers have come together to create three unique 180° films, immersing audiences in a fusion of movement, text, music, soundscape and Connemara landscape through the use of VR headsets and headphones. Lose yourself in this evocative, contemporary take on some of the finest writing in the Irish language.

Runtime: ~17 minutes.
