A note from the Artistic Director

It’s been a very busy summer with lots of work taking place behind the scenes at Triskel Christchurch. We can look forward to refurbished seating inside Christchurch from the end of July. Live satellite broadcasting will launch on 16 August with a screening of God Help the Girl followed by live feed of Belle & Sebastian’s Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange  set where they play songs from the film  as well as their own.

To coincide with The National’s recent visit to Cork we have Mistaken For Strangers  27 – 30 July.  Boyhood is one of our big cinema hits this summer 10 – 13 August. The final week of August we have the beautifully restored edition of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligary.

Youth singing festival Summer Sing! takes place across the city mid-July, we are delighted to be one of the hosting organisations.

John McHarg and Marie Brett are Shadow Traders, their late summer visual art experiential exhibition runs through August with a special drop in free event promising a ‘Lucky Bag Hansel’ for each participant 12 – 2 Tuesday, 19 August.

Pulses of Tradition runs Thursdays and Fridays throughout the Summer. A Cork City Council programme, it is an authentic, Irish multi-media experience, featuring internationally recognised traditional musicians and dancers. This incredible show brings you on a journey from ancient Irish airs, songs and dances to modern day intercultural music & dance.
