Act 1

The epic begins with the portrayal of the passion of the Irish spirit in a fight for freedom. The journey begins before Christianity and chronicles historic events that depict the power and courage of the indomitable Irish spirit throughout centuries of hardship and oppression.

From a darkened stage, the pulsating sound of taps signal the opening of a production that superlatively combines music, choreography, staging and costume design. Images from history fill the first half of the show, culminating in the birth of Ireland, the nation state, and a people emerging victorious from the jaws of defeat.
