Through a series of rehearsals and workshops focusing on dance, drama and music, the residents of the Direct Provision Centres will devise and develop a performance that interprets their arrival in Ireland, their experience of seeking international protection, and their hopes for community and togetherness in the future.\u00a0The performance sheds light on what happens when cultural differences and similarities meet, and the value that cultural diversity will bring to Irish identity. Accompanied by a musical score composed and performed by traditional Irish music band Tulua, the performance will be showcased by our new communities as part of the Fleadh Cheoil na h\u00c9ireann in August 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">Music composed by Cian O\u2019Grady (Tulua) and choreography by Deirdre Grant.
