Volcano Theatre Company

Coal. Art. Politics. Memory. Wales. Tigers.

Black Stuff is a promenade show about lives and imaginations shaped by coal mining. It leads you on a noisy, grimy journey through a listed building in Cardiff Bay, evoking the rhythms of relentless physical action that dominated the everyday lives of working people. Volcano, one of Wales’s most consistently inventive performance companies, has taken its cue from a surreal miners’ story and a journey in search of a lost industrial landscape. Black Stuff uses real tools, objects, bodies and voices to create a vivid experience for all the senses and an imaginative, unsentimental exploration of life, art, industry and politics.

The offsite production takes place at the Silver Dragon.
