Taigh/Tŷ/Teach is a major, tri-lingual co-production of a new site-specific piece written by Màiri Morrison (Scotland), Eva O’Connor (Ireland) and Mared Llywelyn Williams (Wales). The play is performed in Irish, Gaelic and Welsh with English subtitles.

Is comhléiriú suntasach, trítheangach é Taigh/Tŷ/Teach de shaothar nua suíomhoiriúnaithe atá scríofa ag Màiri Morrison (Albain), Eva O’Connor (Éirinn) agus Mared Llywelyn Williams (Bhreatain Bheag), agus curtha i láthair i nGaeilge, i nGàidhlig agus sa Bhreatnais le fotheidil Bhéarla.

‘Taigh’ in Gaelic, ‘Tŷ’ in Welsh and ‘Teach’ in Irish. The same meaning in three languages: ‘House’. The centre of our world, it’s a place for family, for gathering, for music. A place for mourning and for celebration, for playing and for belonging. But it’s a place under threat, with second home ownership, rising rents and lack of affordable housing impacting our communities and our languages.

‘Taigh’ i Gàidhlig, ‘Tŷ’ sa Bhreatnais agus ‘Teach’ sa Ghaeilge. An bhrí chéanna i dtrí theanga. Croílár ár saoil; is áit é an teach don teaghlach, don tionól, don cheol. Áit don chaoineadh agus don cheiliúradh, don spraoi agus don mhuintearas. Ach is áit é atá faoi bhagairt, le húinéireacht an dara teach, cíosanna ag ardú agus easpa tithíochta inacmhainne ag dul i bhfeidhm ar ár bpobail agus ar ár dteangacha.

Three houses, three communities and three stories unfolding, each reflecting the challenges shared by the three countries and the people at the heart of them.

Trí theach, trí phobal agus trí scéal á ríomh, gach ceann acu mar léiriú ar thrí thír a bhfuil na dúshláin chéanna acu, agus na daoine atá i gcroílár iontu.
