An hypnotic journey into the musical mind of Beckett by master interpreters, Gare St Lazare Ireland will be performed at The Pavilion Theatre on 27th and 28th April.
'Here All Night: The Sound of Beckett' is being staged in celebration of Beckett's birthday on Friday 27th & Saturday 28th April 2018.
First presented at Brighton Festival in 2013, and since performed at Lincoln Center, New York, and in Boston and London, Here All Night returns home for its Irish premiere. A performance of music, theatre and visual art.
In exploring the use of music in Beckett’s work, Gare St Lazare Ireland has created an entirely original performance that defies easy description.
A meditation, a celebration, an interpretation; it's absence of linear narrative frees us to go where the words and music take us, and offers another way to access both Beckett’s world and our own.
With an original score by UK composer Paul Clark, and improvised fiddle by Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, the work has evolved to include a collaboration with distinguished Irish artist Brian O’Doherty (fomerly aka Patrick Scott) as well as movement by Irish choreographer John Scott.
Here All Night features:
Soprano - Melanie Pappenheim
Actor - Conor Lovett
Hardanger d'amore - Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh
Cello - Chris Allan
Piano - John Paul Gandy
As well as an all-female choir from the USA and UK in a truly international collaboration.
