Deargdhúil: Anatomy of Passion, Poems of Máire Mhac an tSaoi
Born in 1922, the story of Máire Mhac an tSaoi is set against a backdrop of a tumultuous century in Irish history in which she and her family were centrally involved. Deargdhúil: Anatomy of Passion explores her life, work and sensual poetic imagination. It is told from an intimate perspective through dramatic representations of a sequence of poems re-imagined and choreographed as short films intercut with rare documentary footage and the poet’s own commentary on her life and work. Featuring performance artist Maureen Fleming (pictured), Louis de Paor, Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill and Olwen Fouéré.
