GRINDR, SAGHDAR & CHER as part of IMRAM at Smock Alley Theatre

Tógann fear tuaithe a chéad chéim riamh thar an tairseach isteach i mbeár aerach. Freastalaíonn leispiach ar chóisir na gcearc le scata ban díreach (‘díreach’ mar dhea). Tugann fear bearradh gruaige dó féin nach bhfeicfidh ach fear amháin eile. Trí mhonalóg. Triúr carachtar LADTA+. Trí dhearcadh ar leith acu ar an saol. Trí scéal a thiteann amach ar aon oíche amháin.

A man takes his first ever step across the threshold of a gay bar. A lesbian attends a hen party with a group of straight women (or “straight” women, to be precise). A man gives himself a haircut that only one other man will see. Three stories taking place on one fateful night.

Saothraíonn IMRAM chun litríocht na Gaeilge a chur i gceartlár an tsaoil phoiblí in Éirinn, trí fhéile bhliantúil nuálach a eagrú, a thacaíonn le scribhneoirí, a spreagann díospóireacht agus a mheallann cainteoirí Gaeilge agus foghlaimeoirí na Gaeilge in Éireann agus ar fud an diaspóra. 

IMRAM works to put Irish language literature at the heart of our nation’s public life, through an innovative annual festival, supporting writers and publishers, encouraging the sale of books, provoking debate, and engaging Irish speakers and Irish learners across Ireland and the diaspora.
