2Maighdean-ròin is a commission from the Hands Across the Sea conference. It not only gave the gift of time and financial support to Marcas and Alex, but facilitated the deepening of their creative, collaborative relationship. Alex was particularly inspired by this text from Dùileach, the first of two seeking to re-situate the traditional Scottish Gaelic narrative of the Selkie, within a contemporary context. These works – textual and filmic – use the narrative as a metaphor to speak of prescient issues of our times: misogyny, coercive relationships and intimate partner abuse.
3In 2023, Marcas won the award for Poetry Recitation, in the Royal National Mòd's online competition, with the performance included in Maighdean-ròin.
