Bloomsday cabaret. Celebration of James Joyce
Description
To understand the lyricism and rhythmic quality of James Joyce's work, take a stroll through the music-filled streets of Dublin-made possible by this charming and informative program. Set on "Bloomsday 2004," the 100th anniversary of Leopold Bloom's fictional excursion, the video immerses viewers in turn-of-the-century Dublin, popular Irish tunes of the era, and the various ways in which Joyce incorporated them into Ulysses, "The Dead," and other works. Exquisite reenactments and interviews with literary scholars illuminate the complex relationship between Joycean prose and the author's profound sensitivity to the joys and heartaches in a good song.
