Mochyn Myrddin | Merlin's Pig
Part of Edinburgh Tradfest 2024
(Tue 7 May: 7:30pm)
Myrddin seeks the sanctuary of an apple tree, where he befriends a wolf and a pig. The stories they tell each other unearth deep memories of an ancient sow goddess, a gallant quest and Myrddin’s own mysterious conception and early life. A thousand years later, a young single mum receives a visitation that will influence the course of her life, leading her to deepest Wales and to Hartfell in Dumfries, on a quest for the living myth of Myrddin and the primal power of the land.
Welsh storyteller Milly Jackdaw presents a fusion of traditional storytelling, physical theatre, music and ceremony in this solo performance based on the life of Myrddin, inspiration for Merlin in Arthurian legend, and his encounters with magical animals. Explore the living myth, and its relevance to our current times through tales which restore a sense of meaning, wonder and hope.
