Ragged Stories
They sing of the Sea -
Old Mam y Môr, born at the beginning; the mother of mountains.
They sing of the Mountain -
A 450-million year old giant; the bog weaving father of rivers.
They sing of the Rivers -
The three sisters; running on their 12,000 year pilgrimage o'r Mynydd i'r Môr.
Then they sing of us.
The waters are singing.
In their new show The Ragged Storytelling Collective weave the entire 4.5-billion-year history of the earth (abridged) with threads spun from deep waters of the first oceans, though geological mountain epochs, the mythic realm of rivers and into the polluted waters of human time.
Mixing folk-ritual with documentary, story with music, puppetry with poetry Cân y Dŵr flows between mad science, mythology, folklore and history, with grief, anger, love and reverence for the waters that bring us life.
A bewitching whirlpool of haunting harmonies and poetic eloquence, evoking both tears and laughter.
A call to action that imparts hope, however fragile and urgent it may be.
The waters are singing, can you hear them?
