Through Irish Eyes at The Everyman, Cork

Wednesday 1 – Saturday 4 July

Through Irish Eyes is a powerful theatrical celebration of Ireland’s music, song and dance – art forms that remain central to the island’s identity and have inspired audiences around the world for generations. Featuring six world champion Irish dancers and four world-class musicians, the production reveals the richness and variety of Irish performance, exploring styles and traditions often overlooked by other shows.

Traditional Irish melodies, alive with wit and charm, are woven together with the extraordinary speed, precision and athleticism of modern Irish dance. Tender Irish love songs, renowned for their lyrical beauty, are performed by exceptional vocalists, while stirring ballads of war, loss and longing are delivered with the passion and fire with which they were first written.

Musicians and dancers move as one throughout the performance, seamlessly transforming each scene as Ireland’s history, character and spirit unfold on stage. Themes drawn from the Irish story are developed with energy, emotion, humour and theatrical flair, building towards a vibrant finale that invites the audience to become part of the celebration.

This show is a memorable journey through the music, song, dance and history of Ireland as seen “through Irish eyes”.
