Towa Mura is an extraordinary Scots /Japanese theatre project which will be developed then premiered in Dumfries & Galloway this summer.

Towa Mura is a profound international collaboration between writer Tom Pow, the musicians of The Galloway Agreement from South West Scotland, and the acclaimed Bird Theatre from Tottori, Japan. Drawing on shared experiences of rural life and depopulation, the work intertwines poetry, theatre, and music to tell a local and universal story.

The play is a rich combination of Scottish and Japanese culture, combining Tom Pow’s poetic writing, Makoto Nakashima’s direction (Bird Theatre), three Japanese and one Scottish actor (Bird Theatre / Matthew Zajac), and the five musicians of The Galloway Agreement: Wendy Stewart (clarsach, vocals), Ruth Morris (nyckelharpa), Gavin Marwick (fiddle), Stuart Macpherson (double bass), and Beth Porter (cello, vocals, ukulele).

Bird Theatre operates in a rural context in Japan’s least populated prefecture, a place which has many parallels with rural D&G. It faces the same challenges, the same reasons people choose to stay, leave, or arrive.

Towa Mura, set in an imagined village, is an evocative exploration of social cohesion, rural life & what is being lost from rural communities. The play presents ‘an argument’, one that is carried by memory, myth and imagination as well as by the dilemmas an ageing rural population faces as it chooses its fate.
It is as important for the villagers of Towa Mura to respect and to honour its past and its present – what will be lost – as well as what it might have to gain.

The project is being developed in Dumfries and Galloway, produced in partnership with Bird Theatre, Ruth Morris, and CatStrand. It will then be performed at the acclaimed Bird Theatre Festival, Tottori, Japan this September.

The company will be resident at Dumfries Theatre Royal from 25-29 May, then CatStrand from 1- 14 June, The work will be previewed at CatStrand as part of Dumfries and Galloway Arts Festival on Saturday 14th June at 2pm & 7:30pm, with a fully captioned performance in the afternoon.
