A new company is making its theatre debut with its own unique version of a mythical Welsh folk tale.
'Y Llyn' - a bilingual retelling of the Lady in the Lake story - will visit the Memo arts centre in Barry next week as part of a nationwide tour of Wales.
It's the first production by Bando!, which is aiming to support bold and 'risk taking' projects by championing storytelling and merging with other art forms with no rules or limits.
The hour-long performance combines music, dance and improvisation to give a new twist to the legend of Llyn y Fan Fach.
Michael Harvey, artistic director at Bando!, said: "When we created Y Llyn in 2022 I knew from working with Stacey Blythe that storytelling and music were a fit."
"I had already discovered that Welsh/English bilingual telling worked and from working with Eeva-Maria Mutka I knew that the body and storytelling were a dynamic combination."
"When we put this altogether, we were overwhelmed by the response from audiences and the demand for stories to be developed and told like this."

The company received Arts Council of Wales funding after previewing the show at the Beyond the Border festival, allowing Bando to stage its first autumn tour of a piece that has grown out of years of experimentation.
Michael added: "As BANDO! we will explore opportunities to work with, and support dedicated and talented people. We will expand who creates stories, how we create and perform bilingually; stretching, improvising on what storytelling is and can be."
"We want to create space with no rules on how we create stories; that transcends languages, body and minds to connect with audiences and participants in Wales and beyond.”
'Y Llyn' can be seen at the Memo Arts Centre in Barry on Tuesday 22nd October, followed by a further performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff on Thursday 23rd January 2025.
