A New Legend for an Ancient God and Land
When Anu, the goddess of Irish mythology challenges Lugh to find a new land, he is forced to reckon with powers greater than his own. Lugh must learn how to live in the strange land. He must conquer an enemy he has long denied — the arrogance within himself. If Lugh fails, he can never go home to his beloved Ireland.
Created by the late Howard Rhile and Amelia Townsend, Celtic Spring fuses storytelling, ancient Irish music and dance to bring the mythological god and his world to life in this original story set against the backdrop of. the Appalachian Mountains.
