The Holding Bones lovingly recalls a host of colourful characters – songsters, storytellers and mischief makers. In paying playful homage to her ancestors Niamh Lawlor contemplates the purpose of life. Her life. Set in her artist’s studio she draws upon her skills as a puppet maker and visual artist to enrich the tale she has to tell, as playful and funny as it is deeply moving.
