National Theatre Wales is bringing immersive production Circle of Fifths to Cardiff this June.
Directed by Butetown local Gavin Porter, it will feature real-life stories from people across Wales, to give a live documentary performance, told through real life stories, rooted in tradition, music and memory.
“Friends and families gather on the street outside a home. Sometimes with boots and shovels. Together they share small talk and offer condolences before bidding their Butetown farewell.
Later, stories, memories and music mingle with their grief. A song cuts through. The volume is turned up and they dance.
Loss creates a feeling of disharmony. A fracture in life’s rhythm. In times like this, music can be the thing that makes us feel.”
