Mochyn Myrddin/Merlin’s Pig

Milly Jackdaw presents a fusion of traditional storytelling, physical theatre and music in this solo performance based on the life of Myrddin and his encounters with magical animals. We explore the living myth, and its relevance to our current times through tales which restore sense of meaning, wonder and hope.

We find Myrddin seeking the sanctuary of an apple tree, a remedy for disturbing futuristic visions triggered by the Battle of Arderydd. He befriends a wolf and a pig and the stories they tell each other unearth deep memories of an ancient sow goddess, a gallant quest involving the pursuit of the giant boar Twrch Trwyth, Myrddins own early life and his mysterious conception.

1500 years later a young single mum receives a visitation that will influence the course of her life, ultimately leading her to Wales and to Hartfell in Dumfries, on a quest for the living myth of Myrddin and the primal power of the land. We are called to re-evaluate the stories we tell ourselves and to discover codes, hidden till the time is right for revelation.
