Don't forget! This Friday, the 30th June, Arthaven hosts it's first Theatrical performance. The one act play "Hughie" will be performed by New York Productions and will take place on Friday 30th June @ 730pm. Tickets are available from the gallery and cost €12 including a nice glass of wine.
About the play
The time of ''Hughie'' is 1928, and the place is the lobby of a small, once respectable second-rate hotel on a West Side street in midtown Manhattan. The place is now only slightly better than a flophouse. In the late hours of a very long night, Erie Smith (Ber Power), a failed Broadway sport, gambler and horse player, bends the ear of the uninterested night clerk (John Roche). Erie is just coming off a five-day drunk triggered, he says, by the funeral of the previous night clerk, Hughie.
About Eugene O' Neill
One of the greatest American playwrights, restless and bold experimenter, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1936. Among O'Neill's best-known plays are ANNA CHRISTINE (pub. 1922), DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS (pub.1924), MOURNING BECOMES ELECTRA (pub. 1931), LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT (pub. 1956), and THE ICEMAN COMETH (prod. 1946). O'Neill's plays range in style from satire to tragedy. They often depict people who have no hope of controlling their destinies.
Curiously, Al Pacino played the lead role of Erie Smith to huge critical acclaim in New York, San Francisco, and LA in the late 90's.

They have just cut their 1st demo which will help then take their music further a field. The band members are…Marja, fiddle... Pia, accordion... George,mandolin... Cat, drum, egg and vocals Eileen, guitar/vocals and a bit of drum.

Dance: Infallible Muse II
DANCE PERFORMANCE AT ART HAVEN
Arthaven are pleased to host an extract from “Infallible Muse II", the latest piece from Crux Dance Theatre, in the Gallery @ 8pm on Friday 23rd June.
“Infallible Muse”, a very different and dynamic project that has been made possible through funding from The Arts Council, Cork City Council and Cork County Council.
This piece is a re working and development of the 2004 creation from renowned choreographer Jane Kellaghan. Close work with her chosen mentor, the acclaimed Sol Pico, director of the Sol Pico dance company, Barcelona, has pushed the boundaries of her choreography.
Infallible Muse explores the notion of free spirit and the many layers that we are forced to cloak ourselves with as society demands. It will contain scenes of full nudity, and has been described as “aesthetically satisfying…with skilled dancing” (Irish Times 30th September 2004); The piece is a sensuously exciting journey integrating culture and nature through the magic of multimedia, stunning lighting and set design. Its strength speaks though the body; this is the authentic voice of the dancer.
Choregrapher: Jane Kellaghan
Dancers: Inma Moya, Ursula Chapman, Eloy Bocaccio, Olwen Grindley & Mark Carberry
