Karan Casey: 'The Women, We Will Rise'

“The Women, We Will Rise” is a theatrical song cycle by folk singer Karan Casey and director Tom Creed, celebrating the women of Ireland. Through song and storytelling, it highlights heroic women from Ireland's past, such as Agnes Ryan, Kathleen Clarke, and Countess Markievicz, while envisioning a future for women.

The project blends traditional and contemporary narratives, placing women at the heart of Irish folklore and history. Karan Casey, a celebrated singer-songwriter for over 25 years, explores new performance dimensions, integrating piano, spoken word, and theatre to connect with audiences globally while modernizing Irish folk traditions.
