DeargdhĂșil: Anatomy of Passion
This was a labour of love combining the work of some incredible artists to bring MĂĄire Mhac an tSaoiâs poetry into the medium of film. DeargdhĂșil: Anatomy of Passion explores the life, work and sensual poetic imagination of the revolutionary Irish poet MĂĄire Mhac an tSaoi. Born in 1922, her story is set against a backdrop of a tumultuous century in Irish history in which she and her family were centrally involved. At a time when women's voices were being silenced, the native tradition in the Irish language was her stage to explore the depths of female sexuality and experience without shame. Featuring the movement poetry of performance artist Maureen Fleming, interview by Louis de Paor, poetry voiced by MĂĄire Mhac an tSaoi, Ailbhe NĂ Ghearbhuigh and Nuala NĂ Dhomhnaill, autobiography script voiced by Olwen FouĂ©rĂ©.
