Danny O’Mahony—one of Ireland’s foremost accordionists and a man who has dedicated his life to the preservation of traditional Irish music—revisits pivotal moments in his life: his first taste of music as a child, the mentors who shaped him, and the unrelenting pursuit of artistic mastery that left room for little else. Alongside his sublime live playing, Bellow features an original electronic composition by Valgier Siggurdson and contemporary dance from Emily Kilkenny Roddy, heightening the tension between past and present. The result is an arresting, astonishingly beautiful theatre performance exploring the weight of tradition, the capriciousness of memory and the artist’s need to express their true self.
Part of the 2026 Under the Radar Festival.
