Rhaglen Faust + Greta

18 – 20 MEHEFIN / JUNE 2021 THEATR BYW O’R LLWYFAN I’CH SGRIN LIVE THEATRE FROM THE STAGE TO YOUR SCREEN

AM FAUST + GRETA ABOUT FAUST + GRETA

Croeso i fyd Faust + Greta!

Welcome to the world of Faust + Greta!

Ers mis Tachwedd 2020, mae ensemble o bobl ifanc 18–25 oed o ogledd-orllewin Cymru wedi bod yn dod at ei gilydd i ddyfeisio a pherfformio’r cynhyrchiad arbennig hwn – a’u gwaith nhw byddwch chi’n ei weld heno, wedi’i lwyfannu mewn theatr wag a’i ffrydio’n fyw i’ch sgriniau.

Since November 2020, an ensemble of 18 – 25 year olds from north-west Wales have been working together to devise and perform this new production – and it is their work you’ll see tonight, staged in an empty theatre and streamed live to your screens.

Wedi’i ysbrydoli gan drosiad Cymraeg T. Gwynn Jones o waith gwreiddiol Goethe, mae Faust + Greta yn stori gariad drasig sy’n dod â’r clasur Almaeneg yn fyw o’r newydd mewn gweledigaeth feiddgar o’r Gymru gyfoes.

Mae aelodau’r ensemble wedi cael cyfle i ymwneud â phob elfen o Faust + Greta, ochr yn ochr â chyfarwyddwyr y cynhyrchiad – Nia Lynn a Gethin Evans – a chast a thîm creadigol profiadol.

Mae byd tywyll a thwyllodrus, a phrofiadau newydd, yn aros amdanoch. Pa mor bell allwn ni eich temtio?

Inspired by T. Gwynn Jones’s Welsh translation of Goethe’s classic, Faust + Greta is a tragic and twisted love story that sees the original German tale re-imagined in an amped-up, contemporary Wales.

The ensemble members have been involved with every aspect of Faust + Greta, alongside the production’s directors - Nia Lynn and Gethin Evans – and an experienced cast and creative team.

A dark and devious world, and new experiences beckon. How far can we tempt you?

Pleser o’r mwyaf yw eich croesawu i berfformiad byw digidol o Faust + Greta.

Mae Faust + Greta yn brosiect sy’n agos iawn at ein calonnau ni yn Frân Wen am nifer o resymau; cynhyrchiad cyntaf ein Cyfarwyddwr Artistig Gethin Evans gyda Frân Wen; prosiect sydd wirioneddol yn cefnogi ein gweledigaeth o rymuso pobl ifanc a’u rhoi wrth galon ein rhaglen artistig; cynhyrchiad sy’n gwthio ffiniau theatr ym mhob ystyr y gair a phroses cydweithredol sydd wedi rhoi’r fraint i ni gyd-gynhyrchu a chyd-greu gyda sefydliadau ac artistiaid mwyaf blaenllaw Cymru.

Dros gyfnod o bron i saith mis rydym wedi ein hysbrydoli a’n rhyfeddu gan ymrwymiad a haelioni’r bobl ifanc arbennig sydd wedi cofleidio’r broses arbrofol yma o greu theatr, a hynny mewn cyfnod eithriadol o heriol ac anodd iddyn nhw.

Diolch i bob un ohonoch. Wedi eu hysgogi a’u cefnogi gan dîm anhygoel o artistiaid o Gymru; mae’n destun balchder eithriadol i ni a’n cyd-gynhyrchwyr mai syniadau a gwerthoedd y bobl ifanc fyddwch chi’n eu profi wrth wylio’r cynhyrchiad o’ch soffa.

Gobeithio y byddwch yn cytuno gyda ni bod y dehongliad a’r llwyfaniad hwn o destun hynafol yn gwbl wreiddiol, cynhwysol a pherthnasol i’r Gymru heddiw ac yn dystiolaeth gwych o’r hyn y gellir ei gyflawni yn gelfyddydol drwy fentro tu hwnt i’r amlwg.

It’s a pleasure to welcome you to this live digital performance of Faust + Greta. This project is very close to our hearts at Frân Wen for a number of reasons; it’s our Artistic Director Gethin Evans’ first production with Frân Wen; a project that truly supports our vision of empowering young people and putting them at the heart of our artistic programme; a production that pushes the limits of theatre in every meaning of the word and a collaborative process which has offered us the privilege of co-producing and co-creating with Wales’ foremost organisations and artists.

Over almost seven months, we have been inspired and astounded by the commitment and generosity of the wonderful young people who have embraced this experimental process for creating theatre, under exceptionally challenging and difficult circumstances. Thanks to you all. Driven and supported by an incredible team of Welsh artists, it’s a source of pride for us and our co-producers that you’ll experience the ideas and values of young people while watching this production from your sofa.

We hope you will agree that this interpretation and staging of an old text is completely original, inclusive and relevant to today’s Wales and excellent evidence of what can be achieved artistically by stepping beyond the norm.

Rhoi theatr Gymraeg wrth galon y genedl yw nod Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru, ac yn sgil y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, mae’n bwysicach nag erioed i ni feithrin artistiaid y dyfodol – a hynny trwy annog, cefnogi a chreu cyfleoedd i ragor o bobl ymwneud â’r celfyddydau perfformio.

A dyna pam fod y prosiect hwn – sydd wedi grymuso a datblygu hyder a thalentau ensemble o artistiaid ifanc o ogleddorllewin Cymru – mor bwysig i ni. Mae wedi bod yn bleser cydweithio gyda’n ffrindiau yn Frân Wen a Pontio i greu a chyflwyno’r cynhyrchiad hwn ac i roi lleisiau pobl ifanc wrth galon ein gwaith.

Diolch i’r tîm anhygoel sydd y tu ôl i’r cynhyrchiad beiddgar hwn ac i bawb sydd wedi rhannu yn y siwrne ryfeddol hon i gyflwyno Faust + Greta – ac i chi, y gynulleidfa, am eich cefnogaeth. Ond rhaid diolch yn bennaf i aelodau’r ensemble am eu brwdfrydedd diflino, eu creadigrwydd anhygoel a’u gwaith caled drwy gydol y cyfnod anarferol hwn. Rydych chi’n sêr, bob un!

Placing Welsh-language theatre at the heart of the nation is Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru’s mission, and in light of the past year, it’s more important than ever that we nurture the artists of the future – by encouraging, supporting and creating opportunities for more people to engage with the performing arts.

That’s why this project – which helped empower and develop the confidence and talents of an ensemble of young artists from north-west Wales – is so important to us.

It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with our friends at Frân Wen and Pontio to create and present this production and place young people’s voices at the heart of our work.

Thanks to the incredible team behind this daring production and to everybody who has been part of this extraordinary journey to present Faust + Greta – and to you, the audience, for your support. But our biggest thanks is to the ensemble members for their tireless enthusiasm, incredible creativity and hard work throughout this unusual period.

You’re all stars!

It has been a pleasure, a challenge and an honour to be a co-producer on Faust + Greta, during a period when our doors have been closed. It has given us the opportunity to work on an ambitious, daring and new production in the Welsh language, providing theatre of the highest quality to audiences during Covid-19 in a completely new way.

The young ensemble cast are at the heart of this production, and seeing them develop creatively over the past months has been a pleasure. Their voices, through their creativity, by devising and embracing the whole process, are heard throughout the production. Thank you to all of the ensemble cast. We truly hope that you will enjoy this production, and look forward to welcoming you to Theatr Bryn Terfel very soon.

“Ymunais ag ensemble Faust + Greta fel perfformiwr am gyfle unigryw i fod yn rhan o ddarn o theatr gyfoes, cysyniad uchel ac i gwthio fy ffiniau ymhell tu hwnt i fod tu ôl i gamera!

Rwy’n gwneuthurwr ffilmiau, dylunydd graffeg ac artist sy’n gwirioni ar unrhyw beth gweledol.”

“Dwi’n aelod balch o brosiect Faust + Greta ac yn edrych ymlaen i gynnig profiad theatrig hollol unigryw i’r gynulleidfa. Dwi wrth fy modd yn perfformio ac yn mwynhau cael bod yn rhan o unrhyw beth sy’n caniatáu i mi fod yn greadigol.”

“I joined the Faust + Greta ensemble as a performer for a unique opportunity to be part of a high-concept, modern piece of theatre and to push my limits far beyond what being behind the camera usually offers! I’m an aspiring filmmaker, graphic designer and artist obsessed with all things visual.”

“I’m proud to be part of the Faust + Greta project and look forward to offering a completely unique theatrical experience to the audience. I love to perform and enjoy being part of anything that allows me to be creative.”

Hoffwn fagu mwy o hyder wrth berfformio ar lwyfan. Dwi hefyd yn awyddus i weld sut brofiad yw perfformio mewn theatr.”

“I’m a plus-size dancer, who wants to show people that you can do whatever you want as long as you work hard for it and believe in yourself. I want to gain more confidence being on stage performing. I also want to experience what it’s like to perform in a theatre.”

Dwi’n actor Cymraeg sy’n byw yng Ngogledd Cymru.

Dwi hefyd yn creu graffiti stensil fy hun a byddaf yn mynd i’r ysgol ddrama’r haf hwn i astudio actio.”

“I’m part of the Faust + Greta ensemble because it excited me to be part of a such a unique form of theatre; and such a current and relatable story that I think the audience will connect to like everybody working on it has. I’m a Welsh actor based in North Wales. I also create my own stencil graffiti and I will be going to drama school this summer to study acting.”

“Gan ystyried amgylchiadau’r flwyddyn ddiwethaf, mae’r cyfle i fod yn rhan o’r cynhyrchiad hwn wedi bod yn arbennig o werthfawr.

Mae’n wych cael bod yn rhan o amgylchedd mor greadigol, ac i gyfrannu at y gwaith o addasu’r darn hwn o theatr. Rydw i’n fyfyriwr cerdd sy’n gwyro’n gyson tuag at fyd y ddrama.”

“Dwi’n aelod o ensemble Faust + Greta er mwyn cael y profiad o fod yn rhan o gymuned greadigol a chynhwysol. Dwi wrth fy modd hefo sain geiriau a’r ffordd maen nhw’n gallu cyffwrdd pobl a thanio’u hemosiynau.”

“Dwi’n un sy’n licio creu, ac yn bennaf o ddydd i ddydd yn gweithio o fewn cerddoriaeth.

Neshi ymuno hefo ensemble Faust + Greta i gael bod yn rhan o broses creadigol mor anhygoel o ddwys a manwl, a darganfod ffor’ gwahanol o greu. Ond wrth fynd ati, dwi ‘di cyfarfod a chael ail-gyfarfod criw o bobl anhygoel. Huge bonus os ‘da chi’n gofyn i fi.” “ I like to create, and mostly work within music from day to day. I joined the Faust + Greta ensemble to be part of such an incredibly intense and detailed creative process, and to explore different ways of creating. But during the project, I’ve met and re-met an awesome group of people. That’s a huge bonus if you ask me.”

“Considering the circumstances of the past year, the opportunity to be involved in this production has been particularly valuable. It has been wonderful to be part of such a creative atmosphere, and to contribute to the adaptation of this piece of theatre. I’m a music student eternally drifting towards drama.”
