At the Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff on 12 + 13 November at 8pm (UK tour from 16 October to 8 December) Much-loved emerging Welsh artist Hugh Hughes has amassed loyal fans and huge critical acclaim around the world from the Edinburgh Fringe to the Sydney Opera House. On 12 and 13 November, he returns home to perform in Wales for the first time ever. He presents his brand new show Stories from an Invisible Town at the Wales Millennium Centre, alongside a unique new online space www.invisibletownstories.co.uk When Hugh Hughes returned to his childhood home in Llangefni to help his mum move house, a tapestry of memories from his past began to unfold. Presented by Hugh, with his sister Delyth and brother Derwyn, Stories from an Invisible Town is an unpredictable, playful and engaging evening of family stories. The live show is presented alongside www.invisibletownstories.co.uk where visitors can get lost in a collection of reminiscences manifested as short films, photographs, animations, maps, diagrams, audio clips and poems. Hugh Hughes has become a global phenomenon since leaving his small home town Llangefni. Since 2004, Hoipolloi has developed and presented his work. His three deeply personal yet highly imaginative shows, Floating, Story of a Rabbit and 360, opened to acclaim at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and have enjoyed worldwide success, including a sold-out run at the Sydney Opera House and visits to festivals in the USA, Colombia, Finland, Singapore and Russia. The trilogy was presented in its entirety as The Wonderful World of Hugh Hughes at the Barbican and then touring in autumn 2010, alongside screenings of the film Hugh Hughes: How I Got Here. Floating was also produced as a radio play for BBC Radio 4 in 2011, which won Best Scripted Comedy Drama at the BBC Audio Drama Awards. His second play for BBC Radio 4 will be broadcast in December. Stories from an Invisible Town is produced by Hoipolloi, in association with The Junction, Cambridge. Research and development supported by the Barbican and the National Theatre Studio. Hoipolloi is supported by Arts Council England. www.invisibletownstories.co.uk · www.hughhughes.me · www.hoipolloi.org.uk #InvisibleTown · #hughhughes · #hoipolloi |
