Co-Hosted by Corrib Theatre and Historic Alberta House

Arán & Im (Bread & Butter) is a theatrical performance in which Manchán Magan bakes sourdough bread while offering insights into the wonders of the Irish language–exploring potent words of landscape, terms of intuition and insight, and the many phrases that bring to life the mysterious glory of our natural world. The show is a celebration of language, land, and local Irish food, with freshly-baked traditional sourdough bread for the audience to slice and spread with butter they churn themselves from Irish cream.
