Event Info

Building on the Welsh concept of Cwtch – a loving hold – Golden Slumbers is a highly visual and physical outdoor show exploring the endless cycle of labour experienced by women through their lives, and celebrating everyone’s right to a little rest and recuperation.

Gathered around a feather-filled golden bed, a vibrant mix of Movers and Musicians celebrate the endless toil, the juggling of priorities, the thankless tasks, alongside the joy and strength of friendship and community founded in the everyday muck of life.

Liberace meets your mum sprinkled with a handful of Cwtch!

The first performance will take place at ARK, Cliftonville’s Cultural Space, at 10am on Saturday 8 March followed by a workshop at 10.30am for all to take part. In the afternoon, we head over to Turner Contemporary for outdoor performances at 2.30pm (outside The Droit House) and 3.30pm (on the Terrace outside Turner Contemporary). Performances and workshop are FREE of charge but can be booked here. The performance is 20 minutes duration.

Golden Slumbers is generously supported by Arts Council England, POW Thanet, Ideas Test, Beee Creative, Gulbenkian Arts Centre and University of Kent School of Arts.
