Petula
How the hell do you grow up when the world around you is falling apart?
Pwdin Evans is on a mission. There’s so much in this world he can no longer deal with; his ridiculous parents, step-parents, the weight of his teenage worries, gravity, all of it. So, he launches himself into space, in search of answers and his missing cousin Petula.

Produced by Wales Millennium Centre as part of Festival of Voice 2018. “Ladies, gentlemen, gods and mortals, the captain has turned on the fasten seat belt sign. If you haven’t already done so, cabin crew will be sacrificing a passenger shortly to ensure a fair wind. If you are travelling with a companion who you would like to offer to the Gods, please inform a member of the cabin crew”.
Mari is trying to make sense of her life when a centaur, Medea, and a dead Italian film-maker turn up and take her on a trip to Delphi, a journey to the Oracle. In this touching and absurdly funny tale, the pilgrims encounter the usual – and not so usual – tribulations of travel in their search for meaning; the ancient and the modern, the sacred and the mundane, the real and the fictional.
In collaboration with Welsh musician Katell Keineg, Highway One features live performances from Katell, incorporating songs from her forthcoming album.
