Presented by the members of the National Folk Theatre of Ireland, Oileán celebrates and explores Blasket Island in a moving, emotional and lively presentation

The Great Blasket Island, located off the coast of West Kerry still retains an almost mystical significance for many, both from Ireland and abroad. The way of life of the islanders and their spirit of survival is framed in this production, which captures the essence of this island community, their traditions and customs, their wealth of song and story, their love of life and their strong kinship with one another.

This is a glorious visual, musical and magical performance presented using the best of traditional arts - dance, song and live music, guaranteed to stay with you long after you leave the theatre!
