## Details

Internationally renowned composer Matthew Nolan, accompanied by musicians Seán Mac Erlaine, Lisa Dowdall and Kilkenny native Damien Lennon, present a specially-commissioned live score for Nietzchka Keene’s stark, stunning debut feature The Juniper Tree.

Loosely based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name, The Juniper Tree stars Björk. Set in medieval Iceland, it follows Margit, played by Björk in a riveting performance, and her older sister Katla as they flee for safety after their mother is burned to death for witchcraft.
