Description
Circle of Fifths is an immersive theatre experience celebrating life in death.
The show explores what connects us in times of grief and loss, using film, music and real-life stories from Butetown, Wales’ oldest multicultural community, and beyond.
Director Gavin Porter, a film and theatre-maker from Butetown, created this show with musicians and artists from his community. Together, they offer us a moment of collective reflection and celebration.
Join us for music, stories, samosas and Welsh cakes.
