A Walking Shadow

Eimear Eve ReganProfessional company

50 minutesHaldane Theatre
A lyrical, haunting meditation on womanhood, loss and the weight of tradition. Woven with Irish folklore and mysticism, it moves like a dream: fluid, poetic and deeply visceral. Shadows flicker between past and present, the living and the dead, as voices rise in lament and revelation. The rhythm of firelight, water and whispered tales pulses through the piece, drawing the audience into a world both tender and unforgiving. It is a story of resilience and ruin, where grief is embodied and shame lingers like mist over the land.
