Castle Arianrhod - Cath Little - Zoom

Castle Arianrhod

Castle Arianrhod is a re-imagining of an ancient Celtic myth, a retelling of one of the stories from the Mabinogion. It tells the story of the harm that comes into the world when sister and brother fight. It is a story full of magic and enchantment. Cath Little brings the strange mythic images to life with her words and her music.

Where is Castle Arianrhod? It is under the waters of Caernarfon Bay. It is in the spinning circle of the stars above. And it is in this gift of a story.

“Magical indeed. I loved every minute of it. A beautiful and measured performance with so many textured layers. Cath is a joy to listen to.”

“Enchanting. I didn’t want it to end.” Festival at the Edge

Cath is passionate about sharing the ancient British wonder tales of The Mabinogion.

Cath helps run the Cardiff Storytelling Circle and curate their seasonal concerts, Tales for the Turning Year. She tells and listens to stories at Oasis, a Cardiff Charity which offers a warm Welsh welcome to refugees and asylum seekers.
