Moyo // Bywyd

National Youth Theatre of Wales and Solomonic Peacocks Theatre in Malawi have collaborated for the past year exploring ways of co-creation across digital platforms.
Following a research and development phase young performers wrote, filmed and performed a spoken word poem using mobile phones as their creative tool.

Facilitated by emerging directors in Wales and Malawi the group have worked with animators, voice coaches, choreographers and filmmakers and their final piece Moyo- Bywyd is a Chichewa/Welsh/English short film that explores and celebrates youth voice through cultural exchange.

The project was part of British Council Wales’ Go Digital Initiative.

The final piece along with a film documenting the process will be shown live in Malawi as part of Solomonic Peacock’s Easter Theatre Festival in Blantyre and will be available to watch here April 8th
