Milly Jackdaw presents a fusion of traditional storytelling, physical theatre, music and ceremony in this solo performance based on the life of Myrddin and his encounters with magical animals. We explore the living myth, and its relevance to our current times through tales which restore sense of meaning, wonder and hope.
We find Myrddin seeking the sanctuary of an apple tree, a remedy for disturbing futuristic visions triggered by the Battle of Arderydd. He befriends a wolf and a pig and the stories they tell each other unearth deep memories of an ancient sow goddess, a gallant quest involving the pursuit of the giant boar Twrch Trwyth, Myrddin’s own early life and his mysterious conception.
1500 years later a young single mum receives a visitation that will influence the course of her life and ultimately lead her to Wales on a quest for the living myth of Myrddin and the primal power of the land. We are called to re-evaluate the stories we tell ourselves and to discover codes, hidden until the time is right for revelation.
“. . . entertaining and illuminating; I was gripped from start to finish. Milly is a rare gift of a storyteller.”
“I loved the specificity of the work – the way she placed herself in the land.”
Performed in English with elements of Welsh language.
