Irish Language and the Queer Experience: Dublin Fringe Festival 2021

Tá scéal suimiúil le hinseacht ag pobal aiteach na Gaeilge i Meán Fómhair i mBaile Átha Cliath agus tá muid sa tóir ar lucht féachana!
 
Sa léiriú corraitheach úrnua Idir Mise agus Craiceann do Chluaise (24-26/09/2021) béarfar an lucht féachana ar aistear gáire, damhsa is foghlama trí 30 bliain den mhothúchán aerach, trasna na farraige ó Éirinn go Sasana agus ar ais arís.
 
Sa scéal faoistiniúil a chloisfear in Idir Mise agus Craiceann do Chluaise cíorfaidh an tÉireannach aerach Alan Walpole cuimhní a shaoil go neamhbhalbh. Theith Alan ón duairceas a bhí ag brú ar an bpobal – agus an pobal aiteach go háirithe – in Éirinn sna 1980idí go dtí dathanna na gclubanna aeracha i Sasana. Sa tóir ar shaol níos fearr agus saoirse phearsanta a bhí sé ach i gcaitheamh a shaoil bhí sé scartha ina aigne idir an dá thír. D’fhill sé ar Éirinn sa bhliain 2018, trí bliana tar éis an reifrinn um chomhionannas pósta. Níor aithin sé an tír a bhí roimhe amach ar theacht abhaile dó.
 
Tá an léiriú seo ar cheann den dá sheó a chuirfear ar siúl i nGaeilge mar chuid den Dublin Fringe Festival, mórfhéile amharclannaíochta i mBaile Átha Cliath, agus is iontach linn in AerachAiteachGaelach go mbeidh scéal LADTA+ i measc na scéalta a inseofar ag an bhféile. Minseach ainm an léirithe eile i nGaeilge.
 
Cé hiad na scéalta a roinnfidh Alan leat? Cad a iarrfaidh Alan ort a dhéanamh agus é istigh do chluas? An ndéanfaidh tú na rudaí a iarrfaidh sé ort?

Is fada ó bhí an pobal in Éirinn in ann taitneamh a bhaint as dráma nach raibh ar an scáileán ach beidh Idir Mise agus Craiceann do Chluaise ar siúl ar an láthair 24-26 Meán Fómhair i lár chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath. Rachaidh gach duine den lucht féachana tríd an seó leo féin agus glór Alan féin ina gcluas acu. Déanann an t-éisteoir corp don aisteoir ar bhealach agus glór Alan á stiúradh tríd an seó.

Cóireoidh AerachAiteachGaelach an Club mar a bheadh amharclann ann agus beidh suíomh gach cuimhne ar leith le feiceáil le go mbraithfidh an t-éisteoir go bhfuil siad tumtha go hiomlán i gcuimhne Alan. Is ag siúl trína chuimhne a bheidh tú, trí na laethanta duairce agus na laethanta sona i dtreo an lae atá inniu ann.

Tá rialacha dochta ag baint le léirithe uile Fringe i mbliana mar gheall ar Covid. Is gá do gach duine den lucht féachana agus den fhoireann masc a chaitheamh tríd síos agus beidh spásáil i gceist sa mhéid is go mbeidh gach duine ag dul tríd an léiriú leo féin agus an chéad duine eile 5 nóiméad taobh thiar díobh. Maireann an seó 25 nóiméad ar fhad ón am tosaigh ar do thicéad.

Is iad na filí Ciara Ní É (a mbeidh aithne ag daoine uirthi óna hoíche ilteangach filíochta REIC) agus Eoin Mc Evoy (a mbeidh cuimhne ag daoine ar a rap ‘Seo mo Spás’ i 2020) a chóirigh an script do Idir Mise agus Craiceann do Chluaise ach tá an script sin bunaithe ar scéal agus ráitis Alan féin, scéal a d'inis sé dóibh in agallaimh a chuir siad air.
 
Beidh fuaimrian ag gabháil le reacaireacht Alan le doimhneacht bhreise a chur leis an eispéaras don éisteoir agus is í an t-amhránaí draíochtúil Aoife Ní Mhórdha a bheidh i mbun na hamhránaíochta. Aithneoidh daoine glór Aoife ón amhrán álainn ‘Amhrán Dharlughdach’ a d’eisigh sí féin agus Ciara Ní É i 2021.
 
Beidh ealaín nua de chuid Thaidhg Uí Chiardha le feiceáil ag an léiriú agus é ag freagairt don script i mbealach cruthaitheach ildaite. Beidh cuimhne ag daoine ar Thadhg ó na hamhráin a chas sé mar chuid de Cheolchoirm AerachAiteachGaelach 2021 do Sheachtain na Gaeilge agus óna phíosaí ealaíne ‘Stair an Tnútháin in Éirinn’ a léiríodh mar chuid d’fhíseán ealaíne Bhród 2020 agus ‘Mná Árann’ a nocht sé ar líne i 2021.
 
Is léiriú de chuid an chomharghrúpa ealaíne LADTA+ AerachAiteachGaelach é Idir Mise agus Craiceann Do Chluaise agus tacaíocht fhlaithiúil ann dó ón eagraíocht chultúrtha Oireachtas na Gaeilge.

LGBTQ Terminology in the Celtic Languages

Image
As it is LGBTQ History Month in the United Kingdom, here at the Association of Celtic Students of Ireland and Britain, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the diverse community of speakers and learners of Celtic languages by exploring the growing lexicon of LGBTQ terms in the Celtic languages. If you are an ally or are LGBTQ yourself, here you can find a quick overview of terms to bolster your personal vocabulary with more inclusive language to make everyone feel welcome in our community. And, most importantly, if you know any additional or alternative terminology, we would love to hear from you in our comments section below! Cymraeg  Welsh brings a broad LGBTQ vocabulary, with what you can see here only being a selection of the extensive list offered by Stonewall Cymru which you can find here . Masculine Pronoun: Fe. Feminine Pronoun: Hi. Neutral Pronoun: Nhw. Anneuaidd Non-binary Anrhywiol Asexual Aromantig Arom...

Learning Breton / Deskiñ brezhoneg

     Demat deoc’h ! I have the immense pleasure of sharing with you, within the Learning Celtic Languages series, resources on how to learn Breton. This Celtic language from outside the British Isles, is a Brythonic language, thus partial intercomprehension does exist with Welsh and more so Cornish. Today, standardised Breton, or peurunvan , is composed of KLT and Gwenedeg. KLT stands for Kerne-Leon-Treger which were the main bishoprics of Lower Brittany. Gwenedeg, or vannetais, is spoken in Bro-Wened and is known as the most linguistically conservative form of Breton, it’s writing, pronunciation and certain words differ from that of KLT.      Nota bene: Upper Brittany is everything not highlighted in bright colours on the map below, this is where people speak Gallo – the second language of Brittany. Similar to the relationship between Scots and Scottish Gaelic, Gallo is a langue d’oïl with an estimation of 191,000 speakers (2012). Map taken from Atlas d...

Pride Month: Medieval Ireland

Image
With Pride Month kicking off this week, those of us here at the Association of Celtic Students thought we should celebrate it in a way that only we can: with obtuse amounts of very niche academic knowledge! Since we have already covered LGBTQ vocabularies for Celtic languages , today I am here to talk to you all about two of my biggest passions, medieval Ireland and historical queerness. Historical queerness is often a topic that is challenging to engage with, especially as a non-academic. While there have always been transgender people, intersex people, people who are attracted to the same sex, people who don't experience sexual attraction, or have gender expressions outside of modern binaries, tracking down examples of these historical figures can be challenging. Some wheres and whens, people like this couldn't (or still can't) publicly express themselves for fear of reprisal in one form or another, leaving historical attestations rare and uncertain. In some wheres and wh...
