'Apeirogon' The Until We Talk Tour
with Colum McCann, Bassam Aramin & Rami Elhanan with music from Colm Mac Con Iomaire
In a poignant and timely visit, acclaimed author Colum McCann returns to HomePlace accompanied by Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin, the two bereaved fathers whose extraordinary friendship and shared grief inspired his internationally celebrated novel Apeirogon.
At a time when the world is witnessing deepening conflict and polarisation, their presence offers a vital reminder of the power of empathy, dialogue, and human connection across divides. Joined by long-time collaborator and renowned musician Colm Mac Con Iomaire, the trio will speak about the book and the lived reality behind it—shining a light on the work of the Parents Circle, a grassroots organisation of bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families committed to peace.
As HomePlace welcomes these voices of courage and reconciliation, the call to widen and support the “parents circle” resonates with urgency and hope, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, there is a path toward mutual understanding.
