And remember… “No dragon is more powerful than YOU!

GRIEF

A feeling felt by many but spoken about by few.

GRIEF paints the picture of the pages and stages that we go through when encountering the many aspects that make up grief. Through original music composed by Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, movement choreographed and performed by Arnold Matsena, and spoken word written and performed by Connor Allen, GRIEF explores the impact of loss from the perspective of the body. It is an intimate, physical exploration of continually grappling with the residual energy and volatility of emotion that accompany grieving.

interbeing

interbeing, a term coined by Zen master and peace activist, Thich Nhat Hanh, articulates the interconnected existence of all things. Drawing from this term, this project is an experimental operatic collage, offering provocations that explore humanity’s relationship with land and more specifically how our actions are impacting the environment. It suggests that everything exists in a state of interconnected being, interwoven and mutually dependent. Employing the physical connection between land and body as a visual and sonic motif, this opera serves both as a call to action and an offering.

Farmers Townies and Grockles

This eagerly anticipated production will be performed in community venues for two shows only:

Friday 22nd March – Ffwrn, 6 Main St, Fishguard SA65 9HH at 7:30pm (limited spaces)
Saturday 23rd March – Pill Social Centre, Cellar Hill, Milford Haven SA73 2QT 3:00pm

Pay what you can for this exciting new show!
