Minor Monuments:
a live audio-visual essay Swan Lake
Saturday 30 November Ballet Ireland is delighted to present this most
famous of ballets, which combines romantic
themes, classical technique and ethereal imagery
together with Tchaikovsky’s majestic score.
Set around a small family farm on the edge of
a bog, a few miles from the river Shannon,
Minor Monuments is a live audio-visual essay
unfolding from the landscape of the Irish
midlands. Taking in the physical and
philosophical power of sound and music, and
the effects of Alzheimer’s disease on a family,
Ian Maleney questions the nature of home,
memory, and the complex nature of
belonging.
The show weaves live reading with voice
recordings, music, the ambient sound of the
landscape from Ian’s home place, and original
film footage shot by Jamie Goldrick.
This is the first show from the new arts
publication and production company Holy
Show. It’s based on the widely acclaimed
book, Minor Monuments, published by the
unstoppable hit-makers, Tramp Press.

Swan Lake tells the story of Odette, a beautiful
princess, who by day is turned into a swan by
evil magician Von Rothbart, only to regain her
human form at night.
Out hunting by the lakeside, Prince Siegfried
encounters her and falls in love with her. But
will he be able to break Von Rothbart’s spell…?
This autumn twenty five leading professional
dancers from Ireland and abroad will perform
in this breath-taking production which was
loved by audiences and critics when last
produced by Ballet Ireland.
