Y Sul hwn am 8yn amser y DU, a 3yp amser Canada, bydd y bartneriaeth o The Successors of the Mandingue a Productions Sagatallas yn cyflwyno dangosiad cyntaf unigryw o’u gwaith cydweithredol yn fyw ar tudalen Facebook The Successors of the Mandingue.
Mae’r darn yn cynnwys cyfansoddiad a gomisiynwyd yn arbennig gan N’Famady Kouyate sy’n cynnwys N’Famady ar balafon, gitâr, bolon, djembe a llais gyda cherddorion gwadd Joel Beswick ar allweddi, a Marc Elton ar fiola, gyda geiriau a gair llafar gan Cathryn Haulwen Mcshane-Kouyaté. I’r gân hon mae dau bâr o ddawnswyr ar wahân dros gefnforoedd wedi cyd-greu a choreograffi gwaith newydd anhygoel yn amgylchiadau mwyaf heriol:
Boblée (Gini/Canada),
Shakeera Ahmun (Cymru, y DU),
Oumar Almamy Camara (Gini/y DU), a
Camille Trudel-Veigant (Quebec, Canada).
Bydd y cyflwyniad yn cynnwys y dangosiad cyntaf o ddwy ffilm a grëwyd gan Dominic Fitzgerald – yn gyntaf y gwaith gorffenedig, ac yna ffilm yn rhoi rhywfaint o fewnwelediadau i mewn i’r broses y tu ôl i’r llenni – a hefyd cyfle byw i ryngweithio â rhai o gyfranogwyr y prosiect. Bydd y digwyddiad yn dechrau gyda’r partneriaid yn cyflwyno trwy Zoom byw i Facebook, ac yna’r ffilmiau yn cael eu dangos am y tro cyntaf ar y llwyfannau canlynol – Facebook, YouTube ac Instagram. Bydd gan wylwyr amser i wylio ac yna byddwn yn ailddechrau ein ffrydio Zoom i ymateb sylwadau a chwestiynau byw ar-lein.
Mae’r prosiect ‘Gorwelion Mandingue: Cymraeg/Québécois’ yn rhan o New Conversations, rhaglen a ariennir a’i chyflwyno gan y Cyngor Prydeinig Canada, Cyngor Canada ar gyfer y Celfyddydau | Conseil Des Arts Du Canada, Farnham Maltings, a Chomisiwn Uchel Canada yn y Deyrnas Unedig

This Sunday at 8pm UK time, and 3pm Canada time, the partnership of The Successors of the Mandingue and Productions Sagatallas will present an exclusive first showing of their collaborative work live on The Successors of the Mandingue’s Facebook page.
The piece includes a specially commissioned composition by N’famady Kouyaté featuring N’famady on balafon, guitar, bolon, djembe and vocals plus guest musicians Joel Beswick on keys, and Marc Elton on viola, with lyrics and spoken word by Cathryn McShane-Kouyaté. To this song two pairs of dancers oceans apart have co-created and choreographed an amazing new work in the most challenging of circumstances:
Boblée (Guinea/Canada),
Shakeera Ahmun (Wales, UK),
Oumar Almamy Camara (Guinea/UK), and
Camille Trudel-Vigeant (Quebec, Canada).
The presentation will include the first showings of two films created by Dominic Fitzgerald – first the finished work, followed by a film giving some insights into the process behind the scenes – plus a live opportunity to interact with some of the project participants. The event will start with the partners presenting via a livestream Zoom to Facebook, followed by the films being premiered on the following platforms – Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. Viewers will have time to watch and then we will recommence our Zoom livestream to respond to comments and questions live online.
The project ‘Mandingue Horizons: Cymraeg/Québécois’ is part of New Conversations, a programme funded and delivered by the British Council Canada, Canada Council for the Arts | Conseil des arts du Canada, Farnham Maltings, and the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom
