Mná and Sons

Mná and Sons is a site-specific film directed by Aoife Desmond. It combines a critical essay response to Kyrl's Quay, Cork city with inserted performative actions. The film is structured around seasonal changes, documenting evolving plant, bird and insect life, development of architectural interventions and transformation of a city centre site from a state of vacancy to temporary inhabitation. The site-responsive performance sequence 'gold woman never said this would be easy' presents a series of solo and collective improvisations which ritualise and acknowledge environmental loss and transition.
