Aistear Riachtanach / Neccessary Journey

A choreographic gesture in dialogue with a coastline

IE | Is comhartha córagrafach é Aistear Riachtanach / Necessary Journey in idirphlé le imeallbhord. Siúil Ruairí Ó Donnabháin óna theach cónaithe ar Oileán Chléire / Cape Clear Island feadh chósta Iarthar Chorcaí go dtí teach a theaghlaigh díreach taobh amuigh de Chathair Chorcaí thar seachtain amháin i rith an dianghlasála. Campáil Fiáin, Éisteacht Dhomhain agus Cleachtais Aeistéitiúla Cúraim. Ag siúl an 250km +, chruthaigh Ó Donnabháin taifeadtaí allamuigh le taifeadáin ‘réaltacht mheasctha’ chun cartlann den eispéireas a chruthú a roinneadh go digiteach gach lá.
