THEATR BARA CAWS present ‘100’
|
Theatr Bara Caws is proud to present ‘100’ as their next production. This Welsh language adaptation of the play originally written by Neil Monaghan, Diene Petterle and Christopher Heimann has been authored by Elin Jones, daughter of the late great playwright Wil Sam Jones. A though engaging mixture of movement and imagination, the piece reanimates choreographer Cai Tomos’ connection with the company and promises to offer something sparklingly different but still vitally familiar to our Welsh audience. There will be 5 actors in the production and it will be directed by Tony Llewelyn.
About ‘100’:
Imagine:
That you must choose one single memory from your life – everything else will be erased forever
That choosing this memory is your only way of passing through to eternity
That you have one hour to choose
Choose now:
From your whole life, from all you’ve ever done, felt or thought … what is the one thing you treasure most?
The characters in ‘100’ are forced to choose and re-enact their memopries, using only their bodies and bamboo sticks in fluidly transforming ‘sets’. We are magically transported to a dramatic motorbike race, a South American rainforest and a London tube train as each character in turn tries to capture their memory for eternity.
Press:
‘….this breathtaking piece of theatre. I do believe I will remember it, in both my head and my heart, all of my life. It is a tiny, huge, simple, complex play that touched me in places I didn’t even know I had. (…) this play moved me more profoundly than anything I can remember seeing in theatre…’
The Scotsman, Edinburgh
‘Beautifully executed… its sheer unaffected simplicity is an integral part of its power… there is an energy and real connection here between actors and audience… this is a show that you will carry around with you long after you have left the theatre’
The Guardian, London
‘An arresting show… your mind and heart dilate during it….I’ve never had one, but I suspect that a massage will leave you feeling renewed in the way ‘100’ does.’
The Independent, London
