'Bywyd Brain' is a modern 'anterliwt' (a piece of absurd theatre) written and performd by artists Tom Meilleur and Aled Roberts. As the result of a catastrophic explosion, two crows (Surdoes & Colomen) are bound together by quantum forces inside the nucleus of an atom. From this unique perspective, they can look back at the history, heritage and the everyday life of the people of Wrexham. With a comic philosophical awareness they communicate what they discover.
Tom and Aled have worked together since October 2024, meeting regularly to follow the river Gwenfro from its joining of the river Clywedog to its source in Bwlchgwyn. It is over the course of these walks that the ideas for this 'modern Anterliwt' have developed, as well as providing inspiration from their upbringings in Wrexham.
As well as this show, there will be a series of performances across Wrexham's city centre.
