THIS AUGUST, SPAN Arts is proud to present Journey of a Shapeshifter, an immersive Welsh-language aerial circus performance from Freya Sofia and company.
Surrounded by ancient woodland in the meadow at Colby Woodland Gardens, this unforgettable show offers an immersive, nature-drenched experience.
Freya Sofia and company are based in the Dyffryn Ogwen (Valley) in North-West Wales.
Their work is inspired by the local landscape, folklore and folk music. Journey of the Shapeshifter is a circus and theatre show with live folk music, performed in Welsh, that will captivate families and audiences of all ages.
Inspired by the tale of Ceridwen and Taliesin from the Mabinogi, the show follows the themes of transformation and metamorphosis of humans embodying animal forms.
The show is performed on an outdoor aerial rig, with symbolic props, puppets and accompanied by live Welsh folk music that draws you into the story of the performance. The greater message is that we, as animals, are part of the natural world and can live harmoniously with nature.
Join us for an enlivened summer performance in the meadow at Colby Woodland Garden on August 1. There will be two performances at 1pm and 2pm.
Audiences are advised to bring their own picnic rugs and chairs for the performance. The show will go on, rain or shine, so we ask you to dress for the weather and come prepared.
There is on-site pay-and-display car parking provided by the National Trust. The site is accessible via gravel paths. Please contact [email protected] for accessibility information.
