The Carrowkeel cairns rise not just as monuments, but as portals - thresholds between flesh and spirit, light and shadow, the present and the timeless. Silence clings to stone; the mystery is deliberate. These are not tombs, but reliquaries or sanctuaries of transition. To enter is to descend into the womb of the earth, where the dead do not sleep, but dream. There is no scripture here, only silence. Incantations rise like smoke, breath fills stone chambers and time softens.
Carrowkeel is a mirror of the cosmos - land as spirit, passage as breath. The wind moves differently there. The air listens. The performance will be in a darkened space with the audience and musicians situated within a four speaker sound-scape.
