This award winning dance theatre production, inspired by author Caradoc Evans's controversial short stories of the same name sees Gwyn Emberton and his company of exceptional dancers delve into the dark, turbulent and at times mythical world of Manteg.

Combined with a cinematic score by composers Benjamin Talbot and Tic Ashfield (BBC Wales’ Hinterland), the haunting world of Evans's most memorable characters unravels, as sexual and gender politics collide with social and religious hierarchy.

‘There was gorgeousness in movement, subtlety in space, shadows cast as silhouettes doubling and complicating a sense of momentum’ - New Welsh Review

My People was supported by Arts Council of Wales, Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Kevin Spacey Foundation and many individual supporters. It was also performed in Edinburgh Festival as part of the Arts Council of Wales funding programme Wales in Edinburgh 2015.

“Emberton's narrative impulse is compelling... My People is a mature work... that deserves to be widely seen.”
Jann Parry, Dance Tabs 2015.
