Circle of Fifths

Circle of Fifths is an immersive theatre experience celebrating life in death.

The show explores what connects us in times of grief and loss, using film, live music and real-life stories from Butetown, Wales’ oldest multicultural community. Director Gavin Porter, film and theatre-maker from Butetown, created this show with musicians and artists from his community. Together, they offer a moment of collective reflection and celebration.

’[A] beautiful and moving portrait of a place and its people’ ★★★★ (Guardian).
