WYRD SISTER
”The wheels on the wheelie bag are broken..."
Meet Angharad, a charismatic nomad and centuries-old witch.
Wandering barefoot over East Anglia, she drags behind her a wheelie bag filled with human heads - trophies she's kept of lovers, friends and enemies - and passes her years ritually re-enacting her most cherished memories.
But Angharad is not alone. No matter where she goes, she is always hunted by her 'Shadow', a terrifying creature intent upon exposing her darkest secrets.
Accompanied by live drumming, and blending slapstick, ritual and shamanic dance, WYRD SISTER is a haunting modern folk tale of the burdens of survival.
