Cultúr – The Importance of Culture in Difficult Times

Throughout the history of difficult times in Ireland, people continued to sing the songs, play the tunes, and dance the dances, as a means of coping.

The years 1922-1923 were a difficult time in Ireland. Kerry, in particular, suffered great unrest, as the people tried to come to terms with a very new political system.

Cultúr takes a look at what the people of Kerry, and of Ireland as a whole, were doing in their times of leisure -the dance masters continued work as they travelled the very often dangerous highways and byways of Kerry; the songs that were sung in homes and on the street as people went about their daily lives; the tunes that were played for dances that were held in homes and at gatherings in the countryside.

A great many things changed but the music, song and dance continued. Join the National Folk Theatre Choir and friends for a night of music, song and dance at 8pm.
