Making Merrie - A Mummers Modern
We marked the solstice with a weird and experimental mix of sound, improvised movement, and basketry, inspired by the tradition of Mumming, from the mind of absurdist basket maker Lewis Prosser.
We were so pleased to be a part of this brilliant improvised performance. Thanks so much to Lewis and the performers for bringing the wonderful costumes to life, and to David Grubb and Darren Eedens for the stunning live music, moving between traditional tunes and improvised responses to the movement. Thank you to everyone at Hafan Yr Afon for being such great and supportive hosts. And last but not least, thank you to all of you for coming out and celebrating the solstice with us.
It was a joy to take the performance out onto the streets of Newtown and we hope you all enjoyed it!
We look forward to welcoming Lewis back to Newtown again soon.
The performance is heading to...
