This year's IMRAM programme is as comprehensive as it is diverse. From public interviews with authors to Kate Bush translated into Irish, be ready to be suprised.

Seo trí imeacht nár cheart cailliúint amach orthu:

1. Port a 'tSaoil- Tionscadal Kate Bush

Friday, 18 November, 8pm Smock Alley Theatre.

Níl éinne inchurtha le Kate Bush mar ealaíontóir. Fitear rac, ceol clasaiceach agus ceol tíre go han‑éifeachtach ar fad sa saothar aici. Baineann drámatúlacht thar na bearta lena liricí agus í ag tarrac go tuisceanach as réimse leathan d'fhoinsí liteartha agus cineamatagrafacha, téamaí a bhaineann leis an óige, an grá, an bás, cogadh agus miotaseolaíocht. Ón gcéad singil sin aici 'Wuthering Heights’ go dtí an pop barócach in ‘Babooshka’ is an paisean tnúthánach in ‘Running up the Hill’ tá dúshshlán agus aoibhneas dodhearmadta iontu go léir.

Beidh Caitríona O’Leary againn – guth neamhshaolta an aingil aici, dar le Crescendo Magazine – chun scoth na n-amhrán le Kate Bush a chanadh dúinn. Gabriel Rosenstock a thraschruthaigh na liricí i nGaeilge.

Kate Bush is an artist like none other – weaving rock, classical and folk music to extraordinary effect. Her lyrics are highly dramatic, drawing on a wide range of literary and cinematic sources, exploring themes of childhood, love, death, war and mythology.

Caitríona O’Leary – acclaimed by Crescendo Magazine for ‘her angelic and etheral voice – will perform the very best of Bush’s songs, translated into Irish by Gabriel Rosenstock. She will be joined by Nick Roth (keyboard), Adrian Hart (fiddle), Éamonn Galldubh (flute, whistles, uilleann pipes), David Redmond (double bass) and Matt Jacobson (drums). The show features on-screen projections of the lyrics with images created by Margaret Lonergan.

2. Tinte na Farraige Duibhe- A Multimedia Science Fiction Show

Saturday 19 November, 8pm, Smock Alley Theatre.

Tinte na Farraige Duibhe is a science fiction novel written in Scottish Gaelic by Tim Armstrong and won the Saltire Society First Book of the Year Award in 2013. Eoin P Ó Murchú, the translator of the book into Irish, directs thrilling multi-media dramatic reading, featuring actors Seán T Ó Meallaigh, Hilary Bowen Walsh, and Eoin Ó Dubhghaill. Music by Tim Armstrong and Roddy Neithercut. Visuals by Margaret Lonergan.

Beirt ar a dteitheadh ó Roghail, gealach bheag amach ón bpláinéad dearg Na Hasta, is ea Sál agus Ríosa. Éalaíonn siad i spáslong lastais – agus an crogall daonna, an Sáirsint Raithdead, ar a dtóir. Ach amach rompu tá namhaid níos mó agus níos measa – agus gan fhios di féin, tá rún á cheilt ag Ríosa a tharraingeoidh fórsaí uile an Oilc sa mhullach orthu.

Sál and Ríosa are on the run from Roghail, a small moon off a distant red planet. They escape on a cargo ship – with the human-crocodile Sergeant Rathaid hot on their heels. But out there waiting for them is a greater menace – and, unknown to her, Ríona hides a secret that will bring the forces of destruction upon them.

3. GRINDR, SAGHDAR & CHER

Thursday, 17 November, 8pm, Smock Alley.

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 monologues. Three LGBTQ+ characters. Three different outlooks.

Three stories taking place on one fateful night. Written by Ciara Ní É, Eoin McEvoy and Sam Ó Fearraigh for Oireachtas na Samhna 2022, this multi-media show features music by the group Bandia and atmospheric screen projections by Margaret Lonergan.
