1st year anniversary of The Passion to be marked with a memory exhibition and the world premiere of The Gospel of Us
This Easter, National Theatre Wales and Rondo Media will host a series of events in Port Talbot to mark the first anniversary of the groundbreaking production of The Passion, attended by cast and crew including Michael Sheen and Owen Sheers.
National Theatre Wales, who produced last year’s theatre production with WildWorks, will host a multimedia memory exhibition in the Aberafan Shopping Centre. Everyone and anyone who took part in or saw the production, either in person or online, is invited to contribute photographs or videos of their very best memory of last Easter to the exhibition. Other items on display will include costumes and props.
From Monday 2nd April 2012, the public is invited to the shopping centre to scan photographs, record their memories, and share anecdotes from last Easter. A shed will be installed in the shopping centre in which the public is invited to film their favourite memory. The exhibition will be on display on Good Friday, Saturday and Easter Sunday, and entry will be FREE.
Michael Sheen said: “Think of the moments that have stayed with you, write them down or paint them, or come and let us record you talking about them. If you've created anything in response to what you experienced last Easter, send it in so it can be part of this exhibition. And let’s remember and celebrate not only what we all helped to make happen a year ago, but also what it has created since, and what it can go on inspiring in the future.”
Anyone wishing to submit content for the exhibition that reflects their best memory of The Passion should email it to passion@nationaltheatrewales.org, post a blog on National Theatre Wales’ online community at community.nationaltheatrewales.org or send it by post to National Theatre Wales, 30 Castle Arcade, Cardiff, CF10 1BW, by Wednesday 4th April 2012.
