Award-winning storyteller, musician, and modern-day seanchaí Aindrias de Staic is set to bring a new show to Cork.
By the Light of the Silvery Moon is a live production that celebrates Ireland's storytelling tradition through music, folklore, and theatre.
De Staic’s story of a sunken village beneath Liscannor Bay has since taken on a life beyond the stage, inspiring a group of local surfers to make a documentary exploring the legend.
Narrated by de Staic, the film won best Irish language documentary at the Galway Film Fleadh.
His latest national tour, which opens with performances on September 3 and 4 at the Cork Arts Theatre, draws on the legacy of Ireland's great bards, including Raifteirí an File, Brian Merriman and Aindrias Mac Cruitín.
Joining him on stage are two of Ireland's most respected musicians: Brian Fleming on bodhrán and Aisling Lyons on harp and concertina.
De Staic said: “I am delighted to be back on the road with the bardic troupe of Ais and Brian. We have such craic in this show bouncing hearty rhythms into the stories and it’s different every night.”
