ZORBAS: The Book-The Film-The Dance. The Hellenic Community of Ireland took part in the Liberties Festival 2026 by co-celebrating 80 years since the first publication of the novel Zorbas with the International Society of Friends of Nikos Kazantzakis, which donated a prize of 8 books of Zorbas and 8 books of the Serpent and the Lily by Nikos Kazantzakis. The book became a film by director Michalis Kakoyiannis and the music of Mikis Theodorakis gave us the famous Zorbas dance. Two members of our Greek Dancing in Ireland<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> dancing group demonstrated part of the dance to the enthusiastic participants, including Imelda May<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>, Austin Campbell<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> l and #michaelmcdermott<\/a><\/span>, while the screen by Crowdlink<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> showed clips from the film. It was magic! Thank you The Liberties Festival<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> for embodying the community spirit in Ireland so well!!!
