The Triumph of Art

The Playhouse, Derry / Londonderry

From May 2024

The Playhouse, Derry / Londonderry

19 April – Derry-Londonderry – The Triumph of Music

Beginning at our lead partner The Playhouse, a procession of characters drawn from traditional folklore and recent rave history made their way through the walled city.

The Armagh Rhymers playing traditional instruments were accompanied by The Playhouse Young Artists Programme, wearing bespoke wicker heads by Bob Johnston that took inspiration from archetypes of the early 90s dance floors and rave culture. This merry band of mischief-makers travelled through the shopping centre and streets into Guildhall Square.

 

Derry has an unparalleled reputation as a global city of music, and it was a privilege to share this journey with the artists and communities who collaborated to make 'The Triumph of Music'.
