MOSCOW LOVE STORY

Moscow 2001. Putin has just come to power and the capital of old Soviet Russia is in the grip of a rampant young capitalism ... In this early working, the anarchic streets of Moscow are brought back to life 20 years later, using original audio cassette diaries made on a Walkman. These diaries tell of an unlikely romance that blooms through crazy Russian pub crawls, police arrests and blood contracts made with broken vodka bottles. Moscow Love Story is a tale of excess, transgression, of going too far... and what we do with those memories when the pulse of life returns to a normal beat.

Moscow 2001. Mae Putin newydd ddod i bwer ac mae prifddinas yr hen Rwsia Sofietaidd yng ngafael cyfalafiaeth ifanc rhemp... Yn y gwaith cynnar hwn, mae strydoedd anarchaidd Moscow yn dod yn ol yn fyw 20 mlynedd yn ddiweddarach, gan ddefnyddio dyddiaduron caset sain gwreiddiol a wnaed ar Walkman. Mae’r dyddiaduron hyn yn dweud am ramant annhebygol sy’n blodeuo trwy gropian tafarnau Rwsiaidd gwallgof, arestiadau’r heddlu a chontractau gwaed a wneir gyda photeli fodca wedi torri. Mae Moscow Love Story yn stori am ormodedd, camwedd, am fynd yn rhy bell... a beth rydyn ni’n gwneud gyda’r atgofion hynny pan fydd pwls bywyd yn dychwelyd i guriad normal.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

FOCUS ON CHANGE

Time to celebrate and focus on the community and future of Newport. Our party at the place will be a chance to meet and engage with our city centre neighbours, play games, create and think about creating a group for positive change, whilst looking back at some of Newport successes (and failures).

Amser i ddathlu a chanolbwyntio ar gymuned a dyfodol Casnewydd. Bydd ein parti yn The Place yn gyfle i gwrdd ac ymgysylltu a’n cymdogion yng nghanol y ddinas, chwarae gemau, creu a meddwl am greu grwp ar gyfer newid cadarnhaol, wrth edrych yn ol ar rai o lwyddiannau (a methiannau) Casnewydd.

Tin Shed Theatre Co is a theatrical company of freelance artists, makers and creative innovators specialising in arts activity and creative outreach provision in Wales. The company seek to connect communities through creative activation in outdoor locations, publicly populated space, heritage sites and structures.

The company has over 13 years of experience creating large scale, site-responsive theatrical works. To date TSTC has developed multiple outreach provisions and partners, connecting disparate communities to form lasting intergenerational and cultural relationships.

“We are inspired by the atmosphere and connectivity of live theatre, we make outdoor performances that blend classic iconography with neon light. Through this work, we introduce ourselves to communities and encourage them to be bold and brave by inviting them to work closely with us and alongside us.

At its heart, our work is an ambition to tell stories, and these differ from project to project and place to place. However, what is constant is our ambition to locate ourselves in unusual spaces and collaborate with the brilliant and unique local and international artists, creating bold new work that could be a large scale site-specific, immersive performance, or an intimate, chat on a park bench“ FOR MORE INFO HAVE A LOOK AT WWW.TINSHEDTHEATRECOMPANY.COM
