  Detail from installation by Caroline Bergvall and Ciaran Maher

Caroline Bergvall and Ciaran Maher

26- 33 Old Haymarket

City Central


 

Caroline Bergvall (Norway/France) & Ciaran Maher (Ireland) - poet/performer Caroline Bergvall has worked with composer Ciaran Maher to re-create an installation first commissioned by Spacex in 2001. Say:"parsley" takes the listener through different environments, each playing tricks on the ear and the eye, addressing the necessities and uncertainties of speaking and listening. The installation takes its title from a brutal massacre in 1937 in the Dominican Republic during which Creole Haitians were murdered if they were not able to pronounce 'parsley' (perejil) in the appropriate Spanish manner, by rolling the 'R'.
