Year-Long NTW Show in Aberystwyth

For the eleventh production in its launch year, Outdoors, National Theatre Wales has given multi-award-winning German reality theatre company Rimini Protokoll its first ever UK commission.

Aberystwyth’s Heartsong choir has been meeting once a week for twelve years. Outdoors takes place on the evening of those choir rehearsals once a week, for a year. Every Tuesday evening during term time, until February 2012, audiences of twelve will be given an ipod and earphones, and sent to walk the streets of Aberystwyth. Through those ipods, they will see and hear the stories of Heartsong choir members along their journeys – twelve different stories from real locals that lead them in different paths through the town’s narrow streets and famous seafront – until they are finally reunited in a wonderful celebration of the power of choral singing.

Rimini Protokoll is the label of the works of Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi and Daniel Wetzel. They produce theatre pieces, radio shows and work in the urban environment in a diverse variety of collaborative partnerships. Using research, auditions and conceptual processes, allowing what they call ‘experts’ to find their unique voice.

This National Theatre Wales co-production with Rimini Protokoll, in partnership with Aberystwyth Arts Centre and Heartsong Choir, runs every Tuesday night during term time, starting on Tuesday 1st March 2011, until February 2012, at 7.45pm.

Tickets can be bought from Aberystwyth Arts Centre (tel. 01970 623232) and advanced booking is essential.
