SUMMARY:Canadian Wake - An Immersive Theatrical Experience
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us at Strokestown Park in the National Famine Museum on the 16th May at 7pm for a traditional Canadian Wake\, a farewell gathering once held for Irish emigrants leaving for North America. \nThis event will be an immersive theatrical experience with professional performances in the National Famine Museum. The evening will feature music\, storytelling and a moment of reflection as we remember those who emmigrated during the Great Irish Famine. \n You will be taken back to 1847\, the height of the Great Irish Famine where we will be revisiting the night that Mary Tighe and her family left the Strokestown Estate. Mary and her family were part of a forced emmigration scheme initiated by Major Denis Mahon\, the landlord of the Strokestown Estate at this time. \nThis emmigration scheme forced famine-stricken tenants to leave their homes in Strokestown. These tenants are today referred to as ‘the missing 1\,490’. They began their journey by walking the 165km to the docklands in Dublin\, from here they boarded ships to Liverpool and then on to Canada in the hope of a better life. \nFollow Mary and her family on their journey\, experience their heartbreaking story and join her community in a traditional emmigrant wake\, the last opportunity for Mary to say farewell to her loved ones. Knowing that it could be the last time they see each other as she is heading into a life of uncertainty with little money and a treacherous voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. \nThis Canadian Wake is being held on the eve of the National Famine Way Remembrance Walk starting on the 17th of May. \nThis event is a standing event which involves walking through the National Famine Museum with limited seating in each section of the museum.  \n***This is a Free Event\, however advanced registration is required.***

SUMMARY:Archives to Arts
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Archives to Arts event brings internationally renowned artists\, authors\, and scholars to Strokestown Park on September 24th 2022 for a series of artistic performances and talks to celebrate the opening of the new National Famine Museum as an immersive\, state-of-the-art facility. \nThe main artist will be Declan O’Rourke who will perform songs from his award-winning album Chronicles of Great Irish Famine and read from his debut novel The Pawn Broker’s Reward which were both inspired by his archival research into the historical experiences of his ancestors during the Great Hunger. \nProfessor Kevin Whelan (Director of the Keough-Notre Dame Centre in Dublin) will give a keynote address on the theme of “What Archives Can Never Tell Us”). \nThe acclaimed author Marita Conlon-McKenna will read from her “Shoe Stories” which were shaped by her own research in the Strokestown Archive. Each of these artists and scholars will reflect on how their own creative practices were inspired by archival traces of the Great Hunger that they drew upon to transform familial and local memories into artistic legacies and enduring works.  Come join us as we bring the Strokestown Archives to life. \nTo book your complimentary place please call 071 9633013\, Walk in’s also welcome on the day. \n \n  \n
