A baby cries in a bin at night - as a Faceless Man carves land for profit; a tall tower rises - as the World Tree shakes; and the fate of the earth hangs upon a single silken spider's thread. Binderella is a tale for our times, the wild birth-myth of an Anti-Goddess who challenges the forces of greed and despair that seek to steal our future from us. This anarchistic wonder story peeks through the cracks in our society, fusing an environmental rallying cry with an uplifting call for compassion and courage in this age of crisis. The Ragged Storytelling Collective; Kestrel, Heulwen and Magpie, weave their unique patchwork vision, stitching the raw energy of punk storytelling with a haunting thread of Welsh folk melody and song in this fiercely modern epic. Originally developed through Beyond the Border Storytelling Festival's New Voices scheme in 2021 and made possible through investment from Arts Council Wales National lottery Funding. With creative support from internationally acclaimed storyteller Daniel Morden, and leading Welsh folk musician Oliver Wilson-Dickson, this show will leave you spellbound. Kestrel is a dynamic and passionate performer with a unique vision. Binderella is a compelling mash-up of memoir, myth and the Matrix. A must-see! -Daniel Morden “The ragged storytellers blew me away when I saw them perform Binderella. Or maybe it was more like a breath of fresh air, that hit me like a lost friend's laugh - familiar, haunting, strange and beloved.” Audience Member. “For many of us Kestrel creates a depiction of places and peoples we intimately recognise. The squatters, ditch dwellers and travelling folk that make up some of the eclectic cast of characters are completely familiar…. I challenge you not to be entranced by this profane, silly, moving piece of work” “The zest of contemporary edge infusing this gorgeous blend of stories, music and songs set my pulse racing. It’s a cracking show, and left me with real, tangible hope for the future.” - Naomi Wilds, Producer, Adverse Camber “I don’t know how you did it, but you managed to seamlessly blend archetypal myth with the modern world.” “It had a cinematic quality. It was so epic. The landscape was so visual. That contrasted with the movement and and the dynamic of the music kept me mesmerised” -Pauline Down “It’s really an emotional story, but you perfectly balanced it with humour” Audience member “The physicality of Kes’s performance, the grace. That was mesmerising to watch… You have so many contrasts in the way that you perform. It was a delight” Audience Member CREDITS Story by Kestrel Morton Music by Heulwen Williams and Hazel Morton Performed by The Ragged Storytelling Collective Dramaturgy and mentoring by Daniel Morden Music mentoring by Ollie Wilson-Dickson and Julie Murphey Vocal Coaching Pauline Down Movement Coaching by Deborah Light Access Consultant - Tafsila KahnProducer Kama Roberts AGE GUIDANCE Suitable for ages 12+CONTENT WARNINGThere are descriptions of eviction by authorities.
