Award-winning poet and playwright Inua Ellams (Barber Shop Chronicles, The Half-God of Rainfall, writer in the second season of the 15th Dr Who) brings his chaotic, audience-led poetry event to Pontio as part of ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï’s ‘Pride and Power’ events to mark Black History Month 2025. This year, the University will focus on the power of words, building on our existing Y Llechan work and the role poetry play at Bangor.
±õ²Ô³Ü²¹â€™s Search Party is a unique interactive experience. Choose a word, any word, and watch as Inua is inspired by audience suggestions and open dialogue in this spontaneous performance using modern call and response, with a nod to the origins of storytelling, but with a decidedly futuristic twist.
This is performance is open to colleagues, students and the public but is recommended for children aged 14 and over.
