FIRE EYE - Fire, Music, Mythology

Fire Eye is a community arts event happening throughout the island of ireland at Bealtaine (May Eve) 2001.  The plan is to relight the ancient fires of Bealtaine, beginning with that at Uisneach, the mythological and geographical centre of Ireland.   The challenge is twofold:
1. to motivate community groups and individuals to take part by having their own Bealtaine fire, with music, drama etc. as they see fit;
2. to co-ordinate the timing of these fires so as to create a truly unique all -island event that unites the island in a web of fires.
