A baby cries in a bin at night 

                 as a Faceless Man carves land for profit

                                     a tall tower rises

                 as the World Tree shakes

and the fate of the earth hangs

                 upon a single silken spider's thread.

​

Mae babi’n crio mewn bin yn y nos 

                  wrth i Ddyn Diwyneb werthu tir am elw

                                     mae tŵr tal yn codi

                  wrth i Goeden y Byd ysgwyd

ac mae tynged y byd yn dibynnu

                  ar un edau sidan o we corryn.

​

In this debut performance The Ragged Storytelling Collective; Kestrel, Heulwen and Hazel, weave their unique patchwork vision, stitching the raw energy of punk storytelling with a haunting thread of Welsh folk melody and song in this fiercely modern epic.

Originally developed through Beyond the Border Storytelling Festival's New Voices scheme in 2021 and made possible through investment from Arts Council Wales National lottery Funding. With creative support from internationally acclaimed storyteller Daniel Morden, and leading Welsh folk musician Oliver Wilson-Dickson, this show will leave you spellbound.

"Kestrel is a dynamic and passionate performer with a unique vision. Binderella is a compelling mash-up of memoir, myth and the Matrix. A must-see!"

-Daniel Morden


Yn y perfformiad cyntaf hwn mae’r  Ragged Storytelling Collective; Kestrel, Heulwen a Magpie, yn plethu eu gweledigaeth yn glytwaith unigryw, trwy bwytho egni chwedleua pync gydag
edau deimladol o alaw werin a chân Gymreig yn yr epig chwyrn o fodern hon.
Datblygwyd y gwaith yn wreiddiol trwy gynllun Lleisiau Newydd Gŵyl Chwedleua Beyond the Border yn 2021 ac fe’i datblygwyd ymhellach trwy fuddsoddiad gan Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru ac Arian y Loteri Genedlaethol. Gyda chefnogaeth greadigol gan y chwedleuwr adnabyddus yn rhyngwladol, Daniel Morden, a’r cerddor gwerin amlwg o Gymru, Oliver
Wilson Dixon, bydd y sioe yn eich  cyfareddu.

"Mae Kestrel yn berfformiwr deinamig ac angerddol gyda gweledigaeth unigryw. Mae Binderella yn gyfuniad difyr o atgofion, chwedlau a’r Matrix. Rhaid i chi ei gweld!"
-Daniel Morden

“I'm still thinking of the story you told us in Aberystwyth Museum. Thank you so much. I know a good story by how it affects and resonates with me even weeks/months later. Ann and I really enjoyed it and still talk about the Faceless Man and the wonderful wild people. Thank you.” Ruth Jenkins
