We are honoured to announce a unique evening with acclaimed author Colum McCann as he returns to HomePlace.
He is joined by Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin, the two bereaved fathers whose extraordinary friendship and shared grief inspired the internationally celebrated novel Apeirogon. Together they bring us “Apeirogon” The Until We Talk Tour on Sunday 12 October at 4pm.
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.
The conversation will be interwoven with music from long-time collaborator and renowned composer Colm Mac Con Iomaire, bringing depth and poignancy to this evening of story, song, and solidarity.
Our three guests 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 Ireland 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.
This event takes place on Sunday 12 October at 4pm, tickets £20
