All films in both the feature and doc film festivals will be shown in English with Russian subtitles.
50 SHADES OF GREEN
A further debut for IRISH WEEK 2015 is the groundbreaking FRINGE FEST theatre festival showcasing some of the best, most-challenging and innovative recent works from modern Irish theatre.. All of the FRINGE FEST participants have performed at the hugely popular Dublin
Fringe Festival.
The most exuberant event of IRISH WEEK is the traditional St Patrick’s Day PARADE and CONCERT running for the 23rd time in Moscow, and the second time in Sokolniki Park. Thousands of Muscovites and their friends and families will join the official parade and concert participants (and this the participants of other parades all over the world in cities such as London, New York, Sydney, and Beijing) to ‘wear the green’ for a day (green white and gold to be exact), dressing up in Irish themed festive costumes for a two hour celebration of music, dance, and all things Irish in the spirit of the original St.Patrick’s Day PARADE that takes place in the heart of Dublin on Ireland’s National Day.
The PARADE is held to mark the anniversary of the passing of IRELAND’S PATRON SAINT, ST.PATRICK on March 17th,, 461 AD. ST.PATRICK is recognised by both the Catholic and Russian Orthodox Churches for his conversion of the Irish from Celtic Druid paganism to Christianity.
Immediately after the parade procession finishes, a concert featuring Irish traditional musicians and a cover-band devoted to the legendary Irish punk-folk group The Pogues will keep the crowd warm before heading off to the DAY AND NIGHT of St Patrick’s Gala-Festival of Irish Music at Moscow’s largest club, the newly renovated YOTASPACE (GlavClub). Special Irish guests include BBC Award prizewinner, flautist Brian Finnegan, and folk-metal group Cruachan, with honorary Russian Irishman and druid of St.Petersburg Boris Grebenshikov headlining with Aquarium.
IRISH WEEK – when everyone is IRISH
Fans of contemporary Irish music can attend the 3rd TICKET TO DUBLIN festival which will be spread over several of the coolest indie-rock and live venues in Moscow including Masterskaya, LOL and Brooklyn. This year, Moscow will welcome underground and about-to-break performers including indie musician Myles Manley; James Costello and Spies.
Lovers of Ireland’s idiosyncratic, iconoclastic humour will be anticipating MIC (Moscow Irish Comedy) FEST, the first and only English language stand-up comedy festival in Russia (organized by IRISH WEEK in tandem with local comedy mavericks Stand-up Original). This year’s MIC FEST headliner is Ardal O’Hanlon, the Irish comedian, actor and writer best known for the classic BBC comedy series Father Ted. Ardal will perform on the 15th of March in Dom Kino.
Finally, capturing the roving, restless spirit of the Irish, a unique musical tour of some of the best Irish pubs and music venues in Russia – the BARDS OF BEDLAM – will take 30 folk and traditional groups along the slightly beaten path between Moscow, Yekaterinburg, St.Petersburg while for the first time carrying the mystical sound of Ireland to the wildest reaches of Siberia and the furthest shores of the Russian East Coast (Yakutsk and Vladivostok) spreading some green and Irish goodwill as far as it can be taken.
IRISH WEEK is supported by the Embassy of Ireland in Moscow; Culture Ireland (Ireland’s Ministry of Culture fund); Veresk Cultural Fund; the Irish Business Club; and the City of Moscow as part of its official Cultural Programme 2012-2016.
