Dawns Ysbrydion / Ghost Dance

18 March, 2016
Dance House, Cardiff as part of BDE 2016

Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru in association with Galeri Caernarfon

A story of endangered cultures, language suppression and the subjugation of nations.

50 years on from the drowning of a Welsh village to create the Tryweryn reservoir to support the expanding population of Liverpool, and taking inspiration from the Ghost Dances performed by some of the North American First Nations, internationally acclaimed performer Eddie Ladd leads an all-female cast in this unrelenting dance for survival.

Co-directed by Montreal choreographer Sarah Williams, with live, original electro score by Y Pencadlys.

  • os am brofiad unigryw, i gyffwrdd â’r galon a’ch gwefreiddio chi yn llwyr, dyma’n sicr yw’r cynhyrchiad i chi.

    Lowri Haf Cooke
  • Dawns Ysbrydion / Ghost Dance is edgy, inventive and committed.

    Donald Hutera, Exeunt Magazine
  • Y Pencadlys provided a live electronic musical accompaniment, putting as much blood and sweat into the production as the dancers.

    Broadway Baby
  • …the combination of speech, sound and movement creates an engaging, and understandable, impression of the emotional attachment a community may feel to its homeland.
