From Aurora Nova with support from CultureIreland comes Growler / Where Ye From? - a communion with the divine feminine shadow, with just enough irreverent humour. This ‘82-year-old drum banging, shamanic vulva from the Liberties in Dublin’ is here to revolt against the institution of male power. She’s wise as witches with a lash-like tongue and a heart of gold; she’ll take you on an alchemical, theatrical journey on her quest to "heal the past, heal the future". Through storytelling, spoken word, song and comedy, Growler / Where Ye From? leaves no stone left unturned.
