Ag deireadh mhí Lúnasa 1994 tá beatha Mhaol Mhuire idir dhá cheann na meá. Í gan lúth ná urlabhra ná radharc i leaba ospidéil. Ach tá sí ábalta rudaí a chloisteáil… Cloiseann sí Muiris, a hiarleannán, ag sracadh le dán atá á chumadh ina honóir aige. Níor scríobh sé dán ó gearradh príosún saoil air, beagnach fiche bliain roimhe sin, faoi choir a bhain leis an tréimhse a chaith sé sa ‘Ghluaiseacht’. Cuirtear i gcuimhne do Mhaol Mhuire an leisce a bhí ar Mhuiris riamh scaoileadh lena mhothúcháin—ina shaol cruthaitheach, nó ina ghnáthshaol laethúil sa teaghlach. Scéal é seo faoin easpa tuisceana agus cumarsáide idir daoine, a choimeádann faoi ghlas taobh istigh de dhomhan teoranta ár léirstine féin sinn. Ról fuascailteach an ghrá agus na cruthaitheachta…

As Clár Chlainne Mhuiris i gContae Mhaigh Eo do Annette Byrne. Tá cónaí uirthi anois in Esnandes, sráidbhaile ar chósta thiar na Fraince, gar do La Rochelle.

‘Saothar ealaíne den chéad scoth le healaíontóir cruthanta… Baineann an scéal Scaoilim Uaim Thú go dlúth lenár linn in Éirinn. Ní heol dom aon saothar is mó a thabharfaidh taitneamh duit, idir ghluaiseacht mhear nua-aimseartha an mhachnaimh agus dhaonnacht na heachtraíochta.’ — Liam   Prút.

It’s the end of August 1994 and Maol Mhuire’s life is in the balance. She’s in her hospital bed unable to move, speak or see. But she is able to hear… She hears Muiris, her former lover, struggling to write a poem in her honour. He hasn’t written a poem since he got a life sentence, almost twenty years earlier, for a crime connected to the time he spent in the ‘Movement’. As he struggles to write, Maol Mhuire is reminded of the difficulty Muiris always had expressing his emotions – in his creative life, or in his everyday family life. This is a story about the lack of understanding andcommunication between people, which keeps us confined within the narrow world of our own perception.

The liberating roles of love and creativity.Annette Byrne is from Claremorris, Co. Mayo. Ireland. She is currently living in Esnandes, a village onthe west coast of France, near La Rochelle.

‘A first-rate piece of work by an accomplished artist… The story Scaoilim Uaim Thú closely relates to life in modern Ireland. I can’t think of any other work that will give you as much pleasure, betweenthe fast-moving, modernistic pace of its thinking and the humanity of its story-telling.’ — Liam Prút
