Foinse

Myth Of Scáil
2026-04-18 20:00 - 21:00 UTC | The Courthouse, The Mall, Dingle, Kerry, Ireland
Step into a mythic world where Irish mythology meets Indian devotion.
This live performance reimagines the celtic myth of Scàil and Cúchulainn at Annascaul Lake, blending the raw emotional power of spoken word storytelling with the evocative soundscapes of Kirtan — a sacred Indian musical tradition that calls the soul home.
Kirtan, known as a spiritual retelling through song, invites the audience to slow down and reawaken their connection to the divine feminine. The music becomes a bridge — guiding listeners through inner landscapes of shadow and light, much like the ancient tale itself.

The Lost Voices
2026-05-01 19:00 - 20:30 | Wave Theatre, The Wood, Dingle, Kerry, Ireland
The Lost Voices is Foinse’s newest re‑imagining of an ancient Irish tale—an odyssey of bloodlines, betrayal and the long journey back to oneself. Following a silent child who becomes a reluctant king, this myth pulses with druidic curses, fierce mother‑love, haunting lullabies and the deep wisdom of the land.

From the shores of Corca Dhuibhne to the halls of Tara, voices are taken, broken, buried—and finally reclaimed. Through physical theatre, original music, and Foinse’s signature weaving of Irish and English, The Lost Voices explores how trauma echoes across generations, how truth resurfaces no matter how deeply hidden, and how healing begins when silence is broken.
Premiere: This event marks the première of Foinse’s new show at Féile na Bealtaine, following sell‑out performances in each of the past two years.

Cú Roi Mac Daire
2026-06-21 12:00 - 17:00 | Caherconree Mountain, Caherconree, Camp, Kerry, Ireland
This myth tells the story of Cú Roí Mac Dáire, the great druid and hero of Munster, who was unjustly refused his fair share of the spoils of a raid with the men of Ulster. To claim justice, he stole away Cú Chulainn’s beloved Bláthnat and brought her to his enchanted fortress high on Caherconree, the mountain that still bears his name. Like the druid himself, the fortress had many faces, spinning each night to reveal a different side and hide its vulnerable heart.

On 21 June, Foinse will bring this ancient tale home to its birthplace — performing on the summit of Caherconree, beside the ruins of Cú Roí’s legendary clifftop fortress. This special gathering will be a storytelling event with live music and drama, immersing audiences in myth, sound, and performance at the very site where the tale was born.
The evening will also honour the Summer Solstice, with a short ceremony marking the turning of the year and the deep mythic energies of the mountain.
This is a free, ticketed event supported by Creative Ireland and Kerry County Council. Spaces are limited and pre‑booked tickets will be required.
Ticket release details to be announced.
