Where are you now, Oisín? is inspired by a Celtic myth telling the story of the tragic character Oisín and his return to Ireland from the Land of Youth after three hundred years. According to the Fenian cycle, the place where Oisín fell from his magic horse was located at the Glenasmole Valley. Wioletta's performance is based on research on the phenomena of 'culture shock' when moving abroad and 're-entry culture shock' experienced by many immigrants returning home after living in the other country. She intends to re-tell the story of Oisín's from the perspective of a person experiencing a subtle exclusion in both Polish and Irish cultures, in which she has been living for many years.
