Away with the Birds/Air falbh leis na h-eòin

Hanna Tuulikki’s Away with the Birds/ Air falbh leis na h-eòin is a body of work exploring the mimesis and representation of birds in the Scottish Gaelic song tradition. At its heart is a vocal composition weaving together fragments of Gaelic song poetry that imitate birds into a textual tapestry of sound, emerging from and responding to, landscape.

Join us in a screening of the film documenting the performance of Away with the Birds on the isle of Canna in 2014, followed by a live performance lecture where Hanna Tuulikki will share her embodied research into the mimesis of birds in Scottish Gaelic Song and unpick some of the themes behind the work.
