In this second episode Georgia Ruth explores the significance of international collaboration for Welsh writers. Playwright Ian Rowlands discusses his boundary-pushing 'Aurora Borealis' anti-theatre project developed with South African theatre director and performer Tiisetso Mashifane wa Noni, challenging conventional performances through cross-cultural approaches. The episode then delves into the powerful Room/Ystafell/Phòng anthology with poet Joshua Jones, who speaks with Welsh Poets Lauren Morais and Leo Drayton along with their collaborators in Viet Nam, Xuân Tùng and Maik Cây. They discuss their projects celebrating LGBTQ+ communities' spaces and exploring queer identities, heritage, and unexpected parallels between Wales and Vietnam. Through poetry, photography, dance and other disciplines, these creative exchanges transcend cultural boundaries while preserving distinct voices.
