National Youth Theatre Wales premiere at Aberystwyth Arts Centre with their performance of Patagonia - Yr Hirdaith/The Long Journey on Sunday 4 September. |
The rich shared culture of Wales and Patagonia is the inspiration for a new piece of theatre from NYTW, our national theatre for young people. Using both historical and contemporary material it casts a new perspective on old ties through an exciting combination of physical theatre, music, sound-scapes, and new media. This exciting new show will draw on all three languages used in Wales and Patagonia - Welsh, English and Spanish.The 45 members of NYTW 2011 are drawn from all over Wales including Guto Gwilym and Elliw Dafydd from Ceredigion. Director Tim Baker said “ This year, we are entering new theatrical, cultural and historical territory… Members of NYTW 2011 have already impressed me with their passionate responses to the Wales Patagonia Story.” Following the premiere at Aberystwyth Arts Centre Patagonia – Yr Hidaith / The Long Journey tours to Clwyd Theatre Cymru in Mold and to the new Richard Burton Theatre at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff. The performance starts at 8pm. Tickets are £12 (£9, under 25’s £6). To book contact Aberystwyth Arts Centre ticket office 01970 62 32 32 or go online www.aber.ac.uk/artscentre. |
