Over 100 artists will be featured in Culture Ireland’s SEODA, an online festival and global celebration of Irish culture that runs March 17-21, 2021.
SEODA (Irish for ‘jewels’) celebrates Irish arts worldwide at a time when Irish artists would normally be supported by Culture Ireland to travel the globe.
Featuring The Abbey, CoisCéim Dance Theatre, Druid and Rough Magic/Kilkenny Arts Festival, Stephen Rea, Sinead Gleeson, Martin Hayes alongside Irish work from New York, London & Paris , the 5-day festival will offer audiences more than two dozen events to enjoy. All events are available free to audiences around the world through Culture Ireland’s YouTube channel here.
In launching SEODA, Minister Catherine Martin T.D said: “Our artists are Ireland’s treasures and despite the many challenges this year, our artists continue to create and perform in innovative ways. Through sharing a selection of amazing performances in line with the aims of Global Ireland, we can reach audiences around the world and maintain our cultural connections and offer hope and joy at this time when Irish culture holds a central place on the world stage.”
All artists will be paid for the online presentation of their work and many are supported by the Arts Council.
