Working with our company partner, Codi’r To, this project will engage with the local community in exploring what it means to be Welsh today, particularly post-Brexit and post-Covid. It will do so through the medium of opera, using Pontio as a centre point bringing together the participants in direct engagement with the community. Over the course of five months a group of local school children working with Codi’r To and a professional poet, composer and choreographer will write, rehearse and publicly perform a bilingual opera in miniature, on the theme ‘Wales today / Cymru heddiw’.
