By Mark Anderson. Created in collaboration with Liam Walsh. Blaenavon creative collaborators - Grug Muse and Marega Palser. 

About the show

As day turns to night, immerse yourself in a captivating sound world and ever changing outdoor live performance. 

Using an ensemble of visually striking mechanical ‘instruments’ - gongs, bells, whistles and explosive events, with poetry and text, Warning Notes creates a rich and powerful soundscape that gives voice to the current social and ecological alarm that ripples across our world. 

Taking place at the iconic Blaenavon Ironworks that built the industrial world from which we are now reaping the rewards of climate change and extreme social injustice, artists Mark Anderson and Liam Walsh, with dynamic creative collaborators Grug Muse (Welsh language poet and performer), Marega Palser (Dancer) create a hypnotic and at times playful show for all ages. 

Warning Notes at Blaenavon invites us to sense, listen and reflect on our personal and global stories - past and present – and our future together.
