Cân y Dŵr - Story, Music and Puppetry with the Ragged Storytelling Collective and community dinner hosted by Henbant

The waters are singing.

They sing of the Sea -

Old Mam y Môr, born at the beginning; the mother of mountains.

They sing of the Mountain -

A 450-million year old giant; the bog weaving father of rivers.

They sing of the Rivers -

The three sisters; running on their 12,000 year pilgrimage o'r Mynydd i'r Môr.

Then they sing of us.

In their new show The Ragged Storytelling Collective weave the entire 4.5-billion-year history of the earth (abridged) with threads spun from deep waters of the first oceans, through geological mountain epochs, the mythic realm of rivers and into the polluted waters of human time. Mixing folk-ritual with documentary, story with music, puppetry with poetry Cân y Dŵr flows between mad science, mythology, folklore and history, with grief, anger, love and reverence for the waters that bring us life. A bewitching whirlpool of haunting harmonies and poetic eloquence, evoking both tears and laughter. A call to action that imparts hope, however fragile and urgent it may be. The waters are singing, can you hear them?

* The show is 1 hour 10 minutes with a 10-20+ minute post show ritual where the audience is invited to tie a rag to our set and make a promise to the waters.
** Although children over 5 years old are welcome, they will need to be accompanied by an adult and need to be able to sit and watch the show.  
*** The show is accessible to blind/partially sighted audience members - please indicate if you are blind or partially sighted in the checkout form when buying your tickets to be booked in for a "touch-tour" of the set and puppets after the show.
