Our Story
Líadain and Cuirithir’s romance is the stuff of medieval tragedy. Two bards fall in love, but Líadain makes a choice that alters their shared fate. They end up at a monastic order, forever bound in chaste conversation--until the night they break their vows.
Sinead O’Connor was Marisa’s muse for this tale from 700-800 BCE that highlights that it has always been hard to balance career, love, and calling.
