The Piper’s Grip is a reading with live soundtrack by Eimear Walshe, originally commissioned by Mirror Lamp Press – a tender and reverent account of the homo-erotics of an Irish music session. In the tradition of Irish musical bawdry, this story portrays a man’s ecstatic reconnection with his culture, and in turn with himself. Eimear Walshe’s performance is presented as part of the exhibition project state of us, co-curated with EVA International.
