Crash Ensemble at the Samuel Beckett Theatre
Grá agus Bás by Donnacha Dennehy was commissioned by Trinity College, Dublin, and premiered by Sean-Nós singer Iarla Ó Lionáird, the Crash Ensemble and conductor Alan Pierson at the Samuel Beckett Theatre, Dublin on 10 February 2007.
Inspired by the moments of ecstasy (both luscious and dark) within a number of particular Sean-Nós songs, the work uses these as a collective point of departure for a journey exploring the themes of love and death in a non-narrative context.
