Merci beaucoup to Nora Hickey M'Sichili, the Embassy of Ireland in Paris and Culture Ireland.
Addressing the Nations:
An online project curated by the Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris
Four evenings of impassioned speeches from contemporary Irish voices: Worldwide, 2020 was the year of the televised address of the nation, with diligent speech-writers working in over-drive, constructing emotive speeches which have both reinforced our awareness of the fragility of human existence and inspired altruistic acts of humanity. New language has been developed to describe new circumstances. Unfamiliar words have become common currency.
To mark the beginning of a New Year and look forward, we hope, to an era post-COVID-19, the CCI has commissioned 40 artists to address the world with their reflections on the times in which we live: choreographers, theatre makers, writers, musicians, visual artists and filmmakers convey their values, their preoccupations, their anger and frustrations as well as messages of courage, joy, gratitude, desire and aspiration in this month of January.
Each address will last three minutes. Each evening we will broadcast ten addresses. These voices from Ireland need to be heard!
Join us for 45 minutes at 7pm Irish time/ 8pm French time to watch the addresses: from the Home Page of our website, via Facebook or on our UA-cam channel.

Beautiful Stephen. Having watched all of your incredible pieces on more than one occasion. I love to see youtube tell me a SJS is premiering at. It gives me the space to anticipate and then enjoy your incredible words.
