Earwicker’s Dream

This event has ended

The Cooler, Saturday 18th January

Following on from the success of their tour around James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’, Janet Moran and Ronan Guilfoyle join forces again, this time to explore the intricacies of Joyce’s final novel ‘Finnegan’s Wake’. Janet is an award-winning actor and playwright, and Ronan is one of Ireland’s best-known jazz musicians, with an international career spanning more than forty years. ‘Earwicker’s Dream’ is a concert piece that unites spoken word, jazz composition and improvisation, and explores the central characters in the book.

Joyce’s brilliant text will be illuminated by a wonderful band featuring the legendary guitarist Nguyen Le – a giant figure in French jazz and famed for creating diverse projects with songs from different traditions and languages – Michael Buckley, Ireland’s leading jazz saxophonist, and the brilliant young French drummer Ariel Tessier who completes the band. This will be a programme full of humour, pathos, insights into Joyce’s world, all accompanied by an improvising group at the top of their game.
