Spoken Poetic Dialogue:
Literally meaning "Dialogue for Two", the Agallamh Beirte is a poetic battle of wits in which the fluency of the language (usually humorous or satirical) and the rhythm and rhyming structures are paramount.
These traditional skills apply to both composition and performance. The issues debated vary from the topical (such as 'The Mobile Phone') to the traditional (such as 'The Farmer vs The Fisherman'). |
