Brokentalkers, Bellow at Nimoy Theater

Bellow tells the extraordinary true story of one of Ireland’s foremost accordionists, Danny O’Mahony, a man who has dedicated his life to the preservation of traditional Irish music and to the mastery of his craft.

Bellow takes the audience on a raw, intimate and deeply personal journey of self-reflection, passion and the pursuit of artistic purpose. Bellow weaves together past and present as Danny revisits pivotal moments in his life, including his first taste of music as a child, the mentors who shaped him and the unrelenting pursuit of mastery that left room for little else.

Alongside Danny’s sublime live playing, Bellow features an original electronic composition by Valgier Siggurdson, as well as new writing and contemporary dance, heightening the tension between past and present.

Bellow is a unique and astonishingly beautiful theater performance exploring what it means to be an artist.
