About Circle of Fifths
Circle of Fifths is an immersive theatre experience celebrating life in death.
The show explores what connects us in times of grief and loss, using film, music and real-life stories from Butetown, Wales’ oldest multicultural community, and beyond.
Director Gavin Porter, a film and theatre-maker from Butetown, created this show with musicians and artists from his community. Together, they offer us a moment of collective reflection and celebration.
Join us for music, stories, samosas and Welsh cakes.
