Available Monday, March 8 only!
Landless in collaboration with Ruth Clinton and Niamh Moriarty
Commissioned by Solas Nua for International Women's Day and the Capital Irish Film Festival

"Two Miles of Earth for a Marking Stone" is a concert of traditional songs by the Irish four-part harmony group Landless, with an experimental video accompaniment produced for International Women's Day 2021 by artists Ruth Clinton and Niamh Moriarty. Brigid, the Irish pre-Christian goddess of poetry, is the inspiration for a psychic vision exploring feelings of intangible longing arising from experiences of emigration. Film clips set in the northwest of Ireland will appear as interjections throughout the music, with the themes of the songs mirroring each corresponding scene in the saga. The songs will follow the story of two sisters who journey across the ocean and through a mountain, representing a search for a better future as well as a descent into the subconscious. When her son Ruadán fell in battle, Brigid is said to have cried out — the first time keening was heard in Ireland. Landless' singing can be thought of as a kind of keening, as might have been heard at an "American wake," held on the eve of the emigrant journey.

Landless are Lily Power, Meabh Meir, Ruth Clinton and Sinead Lynch. Based in Dublin, Belfast and Sligo, they sing unaccompanied traditional songs in close four-part harmony. For this performance they will be joined by Consuelo Breschi (Varo/Nomadic Piano Project).

Ruth Clinton and Niamh Moriarty are collaborative artists based in the northwest of Ireland who use performance, video, sound installation and storytelling, informed by site-responsive research, in order to open up spaces of renewed reflection.
