School Resource: 1916 Flashmob & An Eilifint sa G.P.O.
September 7, 2016
Tobshlua 1916 is a bilingual dramatical representation of the cultural and linguistic
revolution in Ireland leading up to 1916 Easter Rising. Crammed with snippets and
sections of orations, songs and poetry based on the work of the Gaelic League from
that period, An Eilifint sa G.P.O. questions our Gaelic identity in the Ireland of today.
Only a small group of actors is required to stage this flashmob on the spot as it were
while drawing in the audience. Suitable for street performance at festivals, as a
precursor to plays or as soul lunch in schools, shopping centres and public buildings.
A joint venture by An Lab and Oifig Ghaeilge Chomhairle Contae Chiarraí.
