[Tá an fógra seo as Gaeilge anseo]
Dear NJ or NY friend,
The Irish theater
company Fíbín will be performing "Pearse in Pictures / Mac Piarais i
bPictiúir" in the WPUNJ Library Auditorium at 8pm on Wednesday April 13th.
The performance is a
mixture of speech, music, and art and will be performed bilingually in Irish
(Gaelic) and English.
The subject of the
performance is Patrick Pearse (Pádraig Mac Piarais) the leader of the 1916
Easter Rising in Ireland, an event which led to the foundation of an
independent Irish state. Pearse is considered by most Irish people the Irish
equivalent of America's George Washington.
2016 is the one
hundredth anniversary of the Easter Rising, and as part of the commemoration
Fíbín are touring the United States and Canada with this show.
WPUNJ is very lucky to
have succeeded in attracting the show to New Jersey, and we hope to see as many
people as possible at it.
The show will be
followed by a Question and Answer session with the members of the company.
Tickets (at the door):
$5 for students and youth; $8 for all others.
