National Theatre Wales

National Theatre Wales’ next production will be a powerful exploration of the annual cycle of sheep-farming. The Gathering/Yr Helfa is the culmination of three years’ observation of life at Hafod Y Llan, a working hill farm managed by the National Trust, at the foothills of Mount Snowdon.

Dogs and sheep in the dance of the slopes,
the mountain deep in animal mind,
hefting the weight, treading the shape of it,
the knowledge, cynefin
in their bones, nerves, blood

Join National Theatre Wales for a remarkable journey on foot through installations and performances, inspired by this iconic location, its day-to-day workings, its history and its people. Created and directed by Louise Ann Wilson, this production will feature new poetry by Wales’ national poet, Gillian Clarke, with sound, film, and movement.

Suitable for ages 10+
