They have organised a musical/video performance that will be streamed live on an AM channel. As part of the project, pianist and composer Tristian Evans will perform the 30-minute multi-media work ‘Dŵr, Haul, Gwynt, Golau’. Adopting the process of recycling in a creative context, Tristian Evans weaves together old religious tunes, archive visual material, Biblical texts and youth voices in two multimedia works for piano that respond to the climate crisis. Dŵr, Haul, Gwynt, Golau (Water, Sun, Wind, Light) integrates environmental words and visual materials created by young people that coincide with the piano score. Tir (Creadigaeth/Etifeddiaeth) (Land (Creation/Legacy)) responds to the notion of creation and legacy of the earth with Biblical references, in addition to exploring the pianist’s agricultural roots on Anglesey during the nineteenth century. The performance will last approximately half an hour on 25 November 2020 (19:30) Click below for further information

This article discusses questions that arose during the writing of Gwlad yr Asyn (Donkeyland), a stage play that takes the form of a monologue. The play was written as a Welsh, anti-imperialist response to Shakespeare’s canonical text, The Tempest. The article considers how the tradition of Shakespearian counter-discourse playwriting from a Welsh perspective is generally lacking in Wales, before focusing on the question of what should characterize a Welsh postcolonial play. It is argued that it should convey a ‘double vision’, a perspective which acknowledges that Wales inhabits a legacy of both colonized and colonizer.
