Story of a Day / Scéal Lae

I’m awake I think…

But what was it that woke me? That tap tap on the window, that sliver of sun on the wall,
my cold foot?
Or did my dream wake me? …

So begins a music filled story of one child’s day that turns the ordinary into extraordinary with live music, vibrant storytelling and vivid animation. Story of a Day – Scéal Lae is a live performance commissioned by Branar in a collaboration between Branar and MusicConnects. Words and illustrations by renowned children’s author Mary Murphy and original score by award winning composer Tom Lane. Created for children aged 4 years upwards and families.

Ceapaim go bhfuil mé i mo dhúiseacht...
Ach céard a dhúisigh mé? An buille beag sin ar an bhfuinneog, an tsliseog ghréine sin ar an mballa, mo chos fhuar?

Mar sin a thosaíonn scéal láncheol faoi lá pháiste amháin, a dhéanann iontach an gháthrud.  Le ceol beo, scéalaíocht bhríomhar agus beochan spleodrach. Taispeántas beo é seo arna choimisiúnú ag Branar. Comhthogra de chuid Branar agus MusicConnects. Focla agus beochan leis an údar clúiteach do pháistí Mary Murphy agus bunscór leis an gcumadóir iomráiteach Tom Lane.
