I'R BYD DYFODOL / TO THE FUTURE WORLD

Mae pobol ifanc sy’n byw ym Mhrydain heddiw sydd yn methu pleidleisio yn cerdded tuag at ddyfodol nad ydynt wedi ei ddewis. Ar yr un pryd, mae yna ddisgwyliadau anferth arnynt i fod yn gyfranogwyr parod i’r dyfodol hwn.

Beth yw’r dyfodol hwn maent yn ei etifeddu? A fyddai’n bosib iddynt wneud rhywbeth arall ag ef?

Mae ffurfiau gwaith presennol yn Aberteifi, Gorllewin Cymru, fel adeiladwaith, adwerthu, amaethyddiaeth a gofal cymdeithasol, i gyd yn ffynonellau pwysig o waith, ac mae rhwydweithiau wedi eu ffurfio o gwmpas y swyddi hyn - o blymwyr a chaffi adeiladwyr i ffermwyr a’r farchnad - hunaniaeth gyfryngol, profiadau, perthnasau ac uchelgeisiau.

Bwriad I’R BYD DYFODOL yw deall rhwydweithiau llafur lleol ac i weld sut gellir eu hail ddychmygu gan bobl ifanc Aberteifi i ragweld dyfodol amgen iddynt hwy ac eraill.

Gomisiynwyd ar gyfer datblygu fel rhan o rhaglen Located Residencies National Theatre Wales yn Aberteifi. Cynhaliwyd y preswyliaeth hon dros bythefnos o 9 Gorffennaf - 19 Gorffennaf 2018.

Young people living in Britain that are unable to vote are heading towards a future they didn’t choose. At the same time, there’s a huge expectation for them to become willing participants in this future.

What is this future they’re inheriting? Could they do something else with it?

Current forms of work in Cardigan, West Wales such as construction, retail, agriculture, and social care, are all important sources of employment, and the networks formed around these jobs - from plumbers and the builders’ cafe, to farmers and the market - mediate identities, experiences, relationships, and ambitions.

TO THE FUTURE WORLD aims to understand local labour networks and how they could be re-imagined by young people in Cardigan to envisage alternative futures for themselves and others.

This has been commissioned for development as part of National Theatre Wales’ Located Residencies programme. This residency took place over two weeks from 9 July - 19 July 2018.
