Cuchulain

Head thrown back and howling with laughter, brandishing a tremendous mug of beer, he looked like Cuchulain, Brian Boru, some mythic Irish king.

That helped draw in 24-year-old Cuchulain Kelly and his friends.

Inspired by Noh, Yeats, in 1916, created his play “At the Hawk’s Well,” for three characters: the Irish mythological hero Cuchulain, an old man, and a dancing hawk, gathered around a basin of holy water on a lonely mountainside.

The show will demonstrate how Celtic art has influenced the modern culture by featuring Japanese manga trading cards and a Marvel comic with Celtic warrior Cuchulain on the cover.

In one hand Cuchulain carries the gae bolga, the spear that is so mighty only he can throw it.
