After 1,000,000 spectators around the world, Irish Celtic and its first creation "Spirit of Ireland" is back and celebrating its 15th anniversary !
Discover the story of Paddy, an old, alcoholic Irishman who has owned his pub for decades. He's about to pass it on to his son Diarmuid, but the latter, lazy and carefree, prefers dancing to serving good "Guinness" or "the alcohol of life" (Whisky) to the customers of the Irish Celtic Bar.
And before becoming a homeowner, Diarmuid must learn the history and culture of his country.
For nearly 2 hours, in the setting of his Pub, Paddy, between 2 drinks, will tell him his story, that of the Emerald Isle and its legends, this story which made dance a principle, a way of life across generations from 7 to 77 years old.
Illustrated by different paintings, each more authentic than the last, Paddy's stories, full of humor and anecdotes, will take us on a fabulous journey, enriched by explosive tap dancing, magnificent music, precise choreography and costumes that vary from one era to another!
Stories full of emotion too, like those of the hopeful Irish in the holds of the Titanic in 1912, and the nods to Braveheart and The Last of the Mohicans...
The musicians (Live), dancers, selected from among the best, will share their enthusiasm to help you discover legendary songs, traditions, the mysteries of their island...

La Seine Musicale
La Seine Musicale is a music and performing arts center located on Île Seguin an island on the Seine river between Boulogne-Billancourt and Sèvres, in the western suburbs of Paris, France.
Adress: La Seine Musicale, Île Seguin, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt, France
Auditorium Patrick Devedjian
Nestled like a gem in a case of glass and wood, the Auditorium Patrick Devedjian is the centerpiece of our building. It can accommodate up to 1,150 spectators and is dedicated to acoustic music, featuring the greatest classical ensembles and musicians, foremost among them the resident orchestra: Insula orchestra.
Its appearance is open to interpretation: a bird's nest, a giant liner, "the ball"...
From the outside, its glass facade is protected and powered by a gigantic array of solar panels that moves in synchronization with the sun, overlooking the concrete liner.
From the inside, the 1,150-seat hall awakens our senses. Dedicated to classical music, jazz, and world music concerts, its light blonde wooden ceiling, cardboard tubes, and paper reveal all the secrets of the excellent acoustics of this stage.
Its Acoustics
Studied by the Nagata and Jean-Paul Lamoureux firm to ensure the best possible sound reproduction for the audience. All precautions have been taken to guarantee exceptional acoustics with the precision of a musical instrument.
Its Design
Modular, its vineyard-style arrangement creates a genuine proximity with the audience surrounding the artists. The interplay of lights, the beauty of materials (wood, mosaics, glass), and the 360° panorama are all designed to match the pleasure of the eyes with that of the ears.
Its design aims to create a sense of visual and acoustic intimacy shared between the audience and the musicians. The atmosphere of the hall is warm, with curved wooden walls and ceiling contributing to the hall’s unique sound identity. Access to the hall is provided on three levels by large suspended walkways offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These are connected by large staircases forming a continuous promenade around the hall.
