“Shall we bake bread together and churn some butter, and talk about things that really matter?” asks Manchán Magan, the presenter of the 75-minute bilingual show, Arán & Im, which explores what makes Irish so unique and potent.
“What’s the word for the lonesomeness of a cow bereft of her calf? Or, for the sound horses make when they meet after an absence? To what extent is the language embedded in the Otherworld?”
Join Manchán as he bakes bread and churns butter and reveals the link between sourdough and the transformational power of Irish.
Arán & Im had a nationwide tour with the Abbey Theatre in 2018. In autumn 2019, it toured widely again. In spring, 2022 it toured 16 cities, 13 states and 2 provinces in USA and Canada. It toured the west coast of North America in 2023 and the UK in autumn 2024. This autumn 2025 tour is likely to be the very final tour of the show.
