festival of lights GIAF First Thought Talk with Gavan Hennigan

In May 2017, Galway International Arts Festival took New York by storm when it opened two productions by eminent Irish playwright and director Enda Walsh. It also partnered with the Irish Consulate to host a US launch and bring its renowned GIAF First Thought Talks series to the U.S. for the first time. Visit http://www.giaf.ie/ for more information on First Thought Talks and other Festival events.

This GIAF First Thought Talk (starting at 24 minutes) with adventurer and solo transatlantic rower Gavan Hennigan discusses Hennigan's extreme adventures to date, in particular his solo transatlantic row, his motivations and his personal challenges.

Hosted by Irish Consul General Barbara Jones and moderated by award-winning author and journalist Belinda McKeon, this talk was the first time the festival’s discussion forum found voice outside of Ireland.

The talk was attended by President of NUI Galway, Dr. James Browne, the cast of GIAF’s 2016 hit show Arlington, Irish artist John Gerrard as well as Tourism Ireland representatives, Alison Metcalfe and Ruth Moran. The event also acted as a celebration of Galway International Arts Festival’s 40th birthday this year.

GIAF’s Arlington, also written by Enda Walsh and co-produced with Landmark Productions, opened at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn on 7 May to a fantastic reception. Following on its heels, and in collaboration with the Irish Arts Center in New York, Enda Walsh’s Rooms, a Galway International Arts Festival production, opened at Cybert Tire, the future home of the new IAC, and ran until May 28.
