SIOE AM YR YMGYRCH BOMIO YN ERBYN SAFLE ADEILADU LLYN CELYN.
Sioe am yr ymgyrch bomio yn erbyn safle adeiladu Llyn Celyn. Llwybrodd Emyr Llewelyn, Owain Williams ac Albert Jones drwy’r eira ar Chwefror 9fed, 1963 i osod bom i atal y gwaith rhag mynd yn ei flaen. Llwyfanwyd y cynhyrchiad mewn dwy dunnell o fflŵr (blawd) gyda phwll dŵr hirsgwar diogel o faint wedi ei osod yn llawr y theatr. Gwmpodd fy chwaer-yng-nghyfraith mewn iddo cyn dechre’r sioe.
Byrfyfyriodd Rhodri Davies a Lee Patterson y trac sain. Cafodd telyn ei rewi mewn talp o iâ ac fe broseswyd y syniau yn dod ohono wrth ei ddadlaith â dŵr berw a halen.
Perfformiwyd y gwaith yn Stiwdio Emily Davies yn yr Adran Astudiaeth Theatr, Ffilm a Theledu ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth.
A SHOW ABOUT THE BOMBING CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE BUILDING OF LLYN CELYN.
A show about the bombing campaign against the building of Llyn Celyn, which was engineered to supply Liverpool with water. Emyr Llywelyn, Owain Williams and Albert Jones dragged their way through the snow on February 9th, 1963 to set a bomb to stop the work going ahead. The production was staged in two tonnes of flour with a rectangular pool of water at one end. My sister-in-law fell into it just before the show began.
The soundtrack was improvised by Rhodri Davies and Lee Patterson. A harp was frozen into a block of ice and it was defrosted using boiling water and salt. The sounds coming from recorded from it were processed to make the track.
The piece was performed in the Emily Davies Studio at the Department for Theatre, Film and Television Studies at Aberystwyth University.
