Somewhere in the Venn diagram of radio play, poetry and performance art, One Day (Lá dá raibh) is a work of fiction which tells the story of a day in the life of a small village in the west of Ireland, where the dead and the living meet both historical characters and others from the speaker’s own imagination. It was first performed live at the Irish Arts Center in New York as part of the Masters in Collaboration series and has now been adapted as a captivating audio experience for broadcast on radio.
The work is narrated by Louis de Paor, who plays the role of a writer in his sitting room writing the poem and speaking it aloud to himself. As a cast of characters come and go, the story moves from morning, to afternoon, to evening, to twilight, all the while accompanied by Lyn’s music, scored for piano, violin, a music box, amplified bicycle wheel and a loop station. With thanks to Ronan Browne for original recordings.
