The Mouth of the Cave
The Mouth of the Cave celebrates the ancient Irish Goddesses and their modern day counterparts.
Irish Poet Siobhán Mac Mahon, funded by Arts Council England and e Irish Arts Foundation, creates a passionate and provocative piece of Performance Poetry, interweaving word, sound, music and drumming. Invoking the magic, myths and mayhem of the ancient Irish goddesses, she explores their archetypal relevance to modern women’s sexuality and spirituality and looks at the place/displacement of women within existing religious and cultural frameworks.
With musician Sabrina Piggott, Siobhán takes you on a journey, with warmth and humour, deep into the mystical Celtic twilight world, where trees whisper, the sea calls you home and Goddesses roam the land….
