Mari Ha!
Mari Ha! is a folkloric exploration of some of Wales’ oldest traditions, bringing together the solstices and equinoxes, the Mari Lwyd and the Cadi Ha in an energetic contemporary dance performance for the outdoors.
This new work combines dance, design and music in a way that breaks new ground, celebrating nature's power to bring communities of people together to express themselves culturally.
