Tá Brón Orm 👹by Michael McEvoy

The first of three original works in Our Voice Together Now (صوتنا معًا الآن) — an international dance exchange between @belfastinternationalartsfestival , @orient.productions & @sareyyet , supported by @britishcouncil .
Choreographer Michael McEvoy (NI) opens the project, with future works by Salma Ataya (Palestine) & Shaymaa Shoukry (Egypt).
Rooted in Irish folklore and the history of the Great Famine (1845–52), Tá Brón Orm imagines an alternative reality where nothing survives — except the last remnants of the land’s magic.

Tá Brón Orm is a new contemporary dance work that gives physical form to the global grief over the loss of language and culture through social and political upheaval. Inspired by the Children of the Famine trilogy and folk narratives from Ireland, the performance blends movement, story, and history.
This work was created as part of “Our Voice Together Now” and is implemented with support from the British Council's International Collaboration Grants, which aim to support cooperation between arts organizations in the UK and worldwide.

الحزم يخيم علي هو عمل رقص معاصر جديد يجسد الحزن العالمي الناتج عن فقدان اللغة والثقافة بسبب الاضطرابات الاجتماعية والسياسية. يستلهم العمل من ثلاثية روايات "أطفال المجاعة" ومن الحكايات الشعبية في أيرلندا، ليمزج بين الحركة والقصة والتاريخ.
تم إنتاج هذا العمل كجزء من التبادل الدولي "صوتنا معًا الآن"، وبدعم من المنح الدولية للتعاون الفني التابعة للمجلس الثقافي البريطاني.
Sorrow sits heavy on the body, a weight passed down through generations that can be shed like an item of clothing. This week, dancers Ahmed Ghareeb, Sara Gabr, and Shady Abdelrahman give this feeling physical form in the world premiere of "Tá Brón Orm". Choreographed by Michael McEvoy with a powerful score by the contemporary Irish band ØXN, this unforgettable experience is your chance to witness sorrow over the loss of land and culture as told through the body.

الحزن عبء يتناقل عبر الأجيال، ويمكن التخلص منه كقطعة ملابس. هذا الأسبوع، يمنح الراقصون أحمد غريب، وسارة جبر، وشادي عبد الرحمن هذا الشعور شكلاً مادياً في العرض العالمي الأول لـ"Tá Brón Orm" - الحزن يخيم عليّ - على مسرح ساحة روابط للفنون. هذا العمل، من تصميم رقصات مايكل مكفوي وموسيقى الفرقة الأيرلندية المعاصرة ØXN، هو فرصة فريدة لمشاهدة الإرث الجسدي للحزن، فقدان اللغة، الأرض، والثقافة.
