Watch the thrilling new trailer for the OLION trilogy which is coming to Bangor this September.

A story which spans a thousand years, bringing the legend of Arianrhod from the depths of the Mabinogi to the modern day.

You can experience OLION as it unfolds live on stage in Pontio in PART I: ARIANRHOD, live performances on the streets of Bangor in PART II: YR ISFYD (The Underworld), and finally a digital short film in PART III: Y FAM (The Mother).

Brutal betrayal and a devastating supernatural storm drowns Caer Arianrhod and forces her people to build a new civilization. A millennia later and her descendants emerge from the waters to confront modern society. But how does this all connect to the seemingly ordinary life of a Bangor teenager?
