TULCA Festival of Visual Arts and Galway 2020 European Capital of Culture present:

Weather Gods - Reprised
Radio play launch and conversation with Isadora Epstein
18 April 2021, 4pm


TULCA Festival of Visual Arts and Galway 2020 European Capital of Culture is pleased to announce the reprise and reimagining of a specially commissioned performance work by Isadora Epstein.

Weather Gods is written and performed by Isadora Epstein. Accompanied by musicians Davy Kehoe, Daniel McAuley and Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh and artist Stéfane Béna Hanly, Epstein has created a performance combining a mythological weather report with a train trip out West on the Great Western Railway. With live musical performances from the titular weather gods, featuring original scores and some familiar favourites, this work is somewhere between art performance and a memorable theatre piece.

Originally, Weather Gods was a live performance in front of an audience on the Galway to Gort train in February 2020 cancelled because of a red weather warning. This new work inspired by Iris Murdoch’s concept of unselfing and its demand that we journey away from ourselves to be attentive to the world and be curious about the people, places, and ideas surrounding us. In 2020, the reality of re-staging the performance presented a new set of challenges. Following many twists and turns, Weather Gods is now a radio play podcast available to download from the TULCA website from Sunday 18 April. Weather Gods will also broadcast on Connemara FM at 8.30 pm on Thursday 22 April.

Weather Gods will take listeners on a train trip through the heavens. In this work written and performed by Isadora Epstein, a cast of Gods announce a mythological weather report and predict a strange forecast. Featuring music and performances by Davy Kehoe, Daniel McAuley, Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh and Stéphane Béna Hanly.

Join us this Sunday for the launch of Weather Gods followed by a unique online conversation with artist Isadora Epstein and radio play producer Orla Higgins.
