Saoirse Amira Anis: rebreach of a fraying body
O’Briens Bridge / Spanish Arch / The Long Walk
Saturday 15 November
2pm - 3pm
Join Saoirse Amira Anis for rebreach of a fraying body, a procession led by The Creature, a costumed siphonophoric deity, guiding us on a journey along the River Corrib. Blending mythology, Black feminist thought with movement and spoken word, this performance creates space for ritual, reflection, and connection. The 30-minute route passes through the city centre with steps and road crossings. Please dress for the weather and take care throughout.
There are stationary gathering points where you can experience the performance without walking at the Spanish Arch and outside Galway City Museum. TULCA guides will be present throughout to assist with navigation and access needs.
Please note there will be optional henna application as part of the performance.
