Swan of Salen

Eala Shàilein/the Swan of Salen

Fri 23 May
19:00 - 21:00
Doors open 18:00

On a small tidal island on the shore of Loch Sunart lie the ruins of the iron age fortress of Dùn Ghallain. It was here that our story took place. 

Choreography by Deborah Norris, projected behind the Willow Trio, three harpists performing a live-synced score

 
 
Eala Shàilein/the Swan of Salen is a small-scale folk ballet created in collaboration with Ballet Folk and Thistle Ridge Films.
 
It's an adaptation of Tchaikovsky's iconic Swan Lake, retold through the lens of the Gaelic tale of Eala Shàilein, blending traditional music from the Loch Sunart area with the classical score.
 
The performance features a film of the brand-new choreography by Deborah Norris, projected behind the three harpists performing a live-synced score. 
 
Tradition bearer Mary Ann Kennedy consulted us on Gaelic culture, music, language and history throughout the project - we are incredibly grateful for her sharing her wealth of knowledge.
