Circle of Fifths is an immersive theatre experience celebrating life in death.
The show explores what connects us in times of grief and loss, using film, live music and real-life stories from Butetown, Wales’ oldest multicultural community. Director Gavin Porter, film and theatre-maker from Butetown, created this show with musicians and artists from his community. Together, they offer a moment of collective reflection and celebration.
’[A] beautiful and moving portrait of a place and its people’ **** (Guardian).
Selected for Cymru Wales in Edinburgh 2026. Originally commissioned by National Theatre Wales.
