The Village<\/em>‘s action focuses on five strangers who, although unknown to one another, all grew up in the same place: the titular village. The performance is set on a hill overlooking the settlement, years after each of them has left. From the top of that hill, they survey their homeplace and tell their stories, which are motivated by two, key devices: a series of explosive and hypnotic dance routines set to a blend of traditional, contemporary and electronic music; and powerful confessional monologues. Through these devices, the audience is confronted by a dissolving sense of reality surrounding both the storytellers and the village.<\/p>\n

The Village<\/em> is a meditation on Irish culture more generally. Within that culture, villages are places that host both literal and metaphorical forms of drama in national life. For at least a century, villages have provided the setting for seemingly immutable artistic expressions of national identity, such as the central role of fields for Cathleen N\u00ed Houlihan and the Bull McCabe. However, in recent times, our national conversations about villages have focused on decline; places left behind by a modernising, urbanising and diversifying Ireland. As a result, villages – to a greater extent than towns or cities – occupy a liminal space in Irish culture, both immutable and soluble depending on an observer\u2019s perspective. This quality makes them fertile ground for expressing stories about the loss and remaking of identity, which is the driving theme of both The Village<\/em> and \u00c9riu as a company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
