On Ageing

Synopsis:
as an empty room fills with memories, a group of extraordinary performers create a portrait of a lifetime over the course of a show. With playful energy, wry humour and brutal honesty that come only from children, On ageing builds a landscape of words and images, to explore living as a journey of endless change. Performed by children for an audience of adults, On ageing is the latest in a series of acclaimed performances by Fevered Sleep that unravel and reimagine the fabric of everyday life.

Weather Factory, The

Synopsis:
You get all sorts round for Christmas. Guests you welcome with open arms, guests who seem to stay forever and guests dressed in red who arrive bearing gifts. But this Christmas, Fevered Sleep and National theatre Wales have invited a very unusual guest to a house in Pen-y-groes. Step through the front door to join us for a midwinter gathering, and discover what might happen if the weather came to visit. Created entirely on location in a house in Pen-y-groes, the Weather Factory packs a years worth of weather into one ordinary yet magical place, celebrating the natural geography that makes Snowdonia the engine room of the Welsh climate.
