Sat 11 Mar
As part of the Aberystwyth Storytelling Festival, Adverse Chamber present Dreaming the Night Field. From the creative team behind the much loved Hunting the Giant’s Daughter, this new work, based on the legends of The Mabinogion promises to be an intoxicating performance that artfully weaves Welsh and English together to make ancient voices and landscapes come alive.
Taking inspiration from the legend of The Fourth Branch of the Mabinogi, Gwydion, nephew of the King, a magician and storyteller, provokes a war between North and South Wales and unleashes a chaos of consequences. Blodeuwedd, a woman made out of flowers, is torn between duty and desire, with fateful results. Experience a world that’s bristling with life, filled with animals, people and constellations caught in stories of making and undoing.
Presented through a combination of music and storytelling, this is a tale of honour, justice, magic and transformation, which all collide in this new work. Featuring one of Wales’ most engaging storytellers Michael Harvey, with singer Lynne Denman, this new work from Adverse Cymru promises to be a highlight of the Aberystwyth Storytelling Festival.
