Скачать или смотреть Sacrum Profanum - An Exploration of Ireland's Sheela-Na-Gigs

Join us at the Irish Cultural Centre for a mesmerising evening of music and art as we close Saint Brigid’s Week 2024 with SacrumProfanum. This extraordinary multimedia concert, created by renowned Irish composer Benjamin Dwyer, delves into the powerful symbolism of Ireland’s enigmatic Sheela-na-gigs – ancient stone carvings that embody themes of femininity, identity, and resilience.

SacrumProfanum was premiered in the UK, here at the Irish Cultural Centre in September 2022 and the Benjamin Dwyer Ensemble has been invited back to the venue to mark the closing of Saint Brigid’s Week 2025.

SacrumProfanum will be followed by a Q&A with the Composer and Musicologist Benjamin Dwyer. He will be interviewed by the Irish Feminist, Author and Activist – and writer-performer of the one woman show “Sheela-na-gig”, Jeanne Rathbone.
