On the tenth anniversary of his death, a slightly imperfect evening in the scotch sitting room of poet and humourist Ivor Cutler and his long-time collaborator and partner Phyllis King. Join us for the story of these unique individuals and wander a beautiful cosmos populated by talking sparrows and well-nourished aristocrats, men with woollen eyes, and dust… so much dust.

Disability Access: Yes
Family Friendly: No

She is of the generation who was promised everything – a career, a family, one true love. But as all of those things seem out of reach and her only way to communicate is online how far will she go to feel a real connection? We follow our heroine on her adventures through Tinder, the good the bad and the downright filthy.
Left or Right?

Experimenting with theatrical monologue form, Clickbait is a one woman show that is funny, filthy and brutally honest.

Chelsey Gillard is a Freelance Director, having recently co-directed Constellation Street at The Other Room. Clickbait is her first piece of writing for the stage.

Dafydd Weeks

Mon 10 Oct
8.10pm

Disability Access: Yes
Family Friendly: No

Dave loves musicals. They’ve seen him through highs and lows, and now Dave wants to share them with you. Spend the evening in the company of a man who hasn’t achieved greatness, who is not world renowned and who definitely has not performed in front of sold out audiences on the West End. He’s just Dave, really.

This new one man cabaret performance by Dafydd Weeks is a heart-felt biography of a man struggling though his very normal life. A man who thinks the best way to express himself is through a big, all-singing, (not really)all-dancing musical revue.

They came, They pledged, They scuttled back to their respective countries. As we HOTly gallop towards the 11 month anniversary of The Paris Agreement, it’s time we had THE TALK, maybe. Politicians love to deny, lie, fly, as low lying countries say byebye.

Featuring the climate, the politics & unseen footage from inside Cop 21 Solutions in Paris.

In a silent world a lonely individual encounters a body of music. A bond grows and an attempt at a relationship is made between the silent man and intangible music.
“My companion stretched out his hand against his friends; he violated his covenant.”

A one act work for stage which combines mime and music.

The general idea of the performance is my personal response to our rape culture that encourages victim blaming. I would like to research and explore the topic of victimization further and want to go beyond sexual assault and address the wider culture of victim blaming.

A Dark Blue Daffodil Is a work in progress and is strongly influenced by my own and other women’s life experience. I have dedicated a lot of time on researching Brock Turner’s case, the tendency of courts to excuse a perpetrator’s behaviour when he does not fit their preconceptions of what a rapist looks and acts like, all the while the victim’s traumatic experience is ignored or even blamed upon them.

Cleft is a highly interactive show that mixes clown, burlesque and something we found behind the shed. It’s about trying to find your place in a world that feels made for everyone but you, but more importantly is about a demented punk clown trying to understand love.

(ADULT CONTENT) Part of the ‘Get Yourself Inside’ event.

Cleft is an unpredictable and constantly evolving creature looking to understand the world with YOUR help. Each show is a one of a kind, unique experience never to be repeated. There’s nowhere to hide from his playful, inquisitive nature, if you sit in the first 150 rows you will get wet!

Opera in Situ is an exciting, new Cardiff-based company which takes opera out of the theatre and into unique, unexpected places making it accessible to all. The inclusivity of the company is something we’re very proud of and it means that our performers come from a wide spectrum of musical experience.

For our first project we took over several unusual venues including a converted cinema, an indoor skate park and a church and presented a series of scenes from opera that take place in street settings. We took our inspiration from Kurt Weill’s American opera ‘Street Scene’ and numbers from it formed part of the event. ‘Opera Scenes’ will culminate in it’s final performance at MiR.

We are now in the process of forging relationships with a number of other venues for future projects so watch this space.

Our events, performed in English whenever possible will create unique, intimate and unforgettable experiences, making opera accessible to everyone.
