Turas - A Breathtaking journey of music, dance and song!

Turas is a Siamsa Tíre stage presentation featuring music from all corners of Ireland fused occasionally with an international flavour and beautifully interwoven with exciting dance and rich vocals.

From Siamsa Tíre’s earliest days music has always played (excuse the pun) a major part in the success of its productions. It was in 2010 that the idea of building a show specifically around musicians was first mooted and in May 2013 this dream became a reality.

Tom Hanafin, director of music with Siamsa Tíre was set the task of devising the production and having been a musician with the company himself for almost thirty years felt the time was right to bring Turas to fruition.

Turas, translated means Journey and this is exactly what inspired the show. We brought together an incredible group of musicians, dancers and singers with extraordinary talents stretching from Kerry all the way up to Co. Down taking in Tipperary, Galway and Mayo en-route. 

The musical content of the show forms a collection of numerous tunes not only from Sliabh Luachra in Kerry but from all parts of Ireland fused at times with an international flavour which in turn brings its own uniqueness to the show.

World championship dancers bring intricate footwork to the stage and enhance the show with their skills and at times give us glimpses of iconic moments from the Siamsa repertoire.

 This combination of powerful music and stunning dance routines merged with beautiful rich vocals ensures that Turas the show has something to offer everybody.

Turas runs every Saturday and Sunday night until the 21st of September.
