is a story of the Great War, where the powerful words of Welsh language War Poet Hedd Wyn and the rich archives of the Imperial War Museum North come to life.
Craig Morrison leads a talented team of artists, including the dynamic German duo Hartung Trenz and Welsh animator Sean Vicary, using projected text and carefully chosen imagery to immerse you in the trenches and wartime homes.
Sharon Watson of Phoenix Dance Theatre brings physical performance to the storytelling, adding depth to the narrative. At the same time, Theatre In The Quarter conveys the experiences of the region's dockworkers who bravely served in battle through compelling audio drama.
An emotionally charged 'Super Choir,' performing a specially composed piece by Andy Smith and conducted by Jeff Borradaile, adds a moving soundtrack to the experience.
With Craig Morrison at the helm, this immersive journey offers a window into the lives of those on the front lines and at home during the Great War.

A large-scale outdoor event to mark the 100 years since World War 1. We follow the life of Hedd Wyn, who died before being recognised as a very important Welsh Poet. International artists were commissioned to create a collaborative event featuring mapping, live-action, dance, animation, fireworks and a 200-strong community choir.
