Cúl stáitse le PYGMALION 26 👀🤩

Cé acu a dtig a rá gur chainteoir dúchais Ghaeilge iad san bhliain 2026 agus cad chuige nó cén fáth a bhfuil tábhacht leis an cheist sin ar aon chuma?

Is scéal thar a bheith tábhachtach agus ábhar machnaimh é PYGMALION 26, a thosaigh blianta ó shin le Gearóid Ó Cairealláin

Pléann Pygmalion 26 le haicme shóisialta agus a sainaithint trí bhlas, tugann an léiriú seo saothar Shaw go Béal Feirste na bliana 2026

Is iontach an rud é go bhfuil fís Ó Cairealláin ar stáitse agus é imithe uainn. D’fhág Ó Cairealláin oidhreacht shaibhir i dtaobh na teanga de i mBéal Feiriste.

Tá an oidhreacht sin le feiceáil fós lena mhic, ina measc Naoise Ó Cairealláin (Móglaí Bap) agus dar ndóigh anois le agus PYGMALION 26

Bígí linn don dráma greannmhar nua seo a dhéanann iniúchadh ar an gcultúr teanga atá ag athrú i nGaeltacht uirbeach Iarthar Bhéal Feirste.

Back stage with PYGMALION 26 👀🤩

Who gets to call themselves a native speaker in 2026 and why or how is that question important in the first place?

PYGMALION 26 is an extremely important and thought-provoking piece, started years ago by Gearóid Ó Cairealláin

Pygmalion 26 deals with social class and its identification through accent

It’s great to see Ó Cairealláin’s vision on stage when he is sadly no longer with us. Ó Cairelláin left a rich legacy behind him in Belfast.

That legacy can still be seen through his sons including Naoise (Móglaí Bap) and now with and PYGMALION 26

Join us for this new play that examines the developing culture of language in urban Belfast

Tá rímead orainn agus ár gceardlann oscailte a fhógairt, agus Moonfish mar ár chomhlacht cónaitheach!

Mar chuid den chónaitheacht seo, cuirfidh Moonfish Theatre ceardlann oscailte ar fáil do chleachtóirí amharclainne atá ag obair faoi láthair, nó a bhfuil spéis acu oibriú, trí mheán na Gaeilge

Beidh an cheardlann ar siúl an 14 Samhain 2026 i gCathair na Gaillimhe. Tabharfar an deis do rannpháirtithe triail a bhaint as cleachtas ceaptha comhoibríoch Moonfish

Déanfar iniúchadh ar an mbealach is féidir le teanga, scéalaíocht, gluaiseacht, ceol agus foirmeacha amharclainne eile teacht le chéile chun saothar nua a chruthú

Spreagfar rannpháirtithe chun comhoibriú lena chéile agus machnamh a dhéanamh ar an gcaoi a bhféadfadh an dátheangachas a bheith ina ghné ghníomhach agus cruthaitheach den phróiseas amharclainne, seachas mar phróiseas aistriúcháin amháin

Ourselves and our company of residence are delighted to announce our Open Workshop!

As part of this residency, Moonfish Theatre will offer an open workshop for theatre practitioners who currently work, or are interested in working, through the Irish language

The workshop will take place here, in Galway City on November 14th 2026 and will introduce participants to Moonfish’s collaborative devising practice, exploring how language, storytelling, movement, music and other theatrical forms can come together in the creation of original performance

Participants will be encouraged to experiment, collaborate and consider how the Irish language can become an active and creative element of the theatrical process, rather than simply a question of translation

Pygmalion 26!

Beidh linn anseo sa Taibhdhearc 🤩

Is aistriúchán Gaeilge é Pygmalion 26 ar shaothar clasaiceach polaitiúil an údair G.B. Shaw

Tugann an léiriú seo saothar Shaw go Béal Feirste na bliana 2026

Pléann Pygmalion le ceist an aicme shóisialta agus leis an dóigh a n-aithnítear an aicme sin trí bhlas cainte

Cé aige a bhfuil sé de cheart a rá gur cainteoir dúchais Gaeilge é?

Pléann Pygmalion 26 an ceist seo leis an ngreann agus an íoróin a bhaineann le Pygmalion féin, agus leis an mbeocht, an ghrinn agus an cultúr teanga atá thart orainn i nGaeltacht uirbeach Iarthar Bhéal Feirste

Pygmalion 26 is an Irish-language translation of GB Shaw’s classic political comedy

This production takes Shaw’s work and brings it to Belfast 2026

Pygmalion deals with social class and its identification through accent

Pygmalion 26 takes that theme and runs it through Shaw’s prism of class to address the question, ‘Who can call themselves a native Irish speaker?”
