RIVERRUN

riverrun
the voice of the river
in James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake
adapted and performed by Olwen Fouéré

Fresh from its international success at the National Theatre London, Traverse Theatre Edinburgh, Brooklyn Academy of Music New York and Princeton University, riverrun returns to Project Arts Centre.

One of Ireland’s leading theatre-makers, Olwen Fouéré has been intrigued by James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake for many years. Inspired by the extraordinary musicality of the text, she has created this powerful new adaptation of Joyce’s famous ‘book of the night’.

A force of constant renewal, the river ‘Life’, Anna Livia Plurabelle, ALP, becomes a universal call to wake up, surrender the past and confront the betrayals that might lie at the heart of our histories. Together with an exciting creative team, rivverrun will give audiences an opportunity to witness Fouéré’s unique approach to Joyce’s extraordinary ‘sound-dance’.
