Swyn (the Welsh word for “spell” or “charm”) is an atmospheric, multi-sensory experience that honours the women and the work that came before us. Through a powerful fusion of contemporary circus, acrobatic dance, bilingual storytelling, and original song, this performance evokes themes of memory, ancestry, and belonging. The show is performed on an outdoor aerial rig, surrounded by symbolic props—pails of water, large pots of flowers—and accompanied by a bespoke soundtrack that draws the audience into a world both timeless and immediate.
We expect this to be a very popular event, so it is strongly recommended that you pre-book your tickets online through the SPAN arts website to secure your place at one of two wonderful performances being held that day.
