Gŵyl Metaboliaeth 2022

Biologically speaking, metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy. But what about a Metabolism of the mind, of imagination, of language and of art?

Gwyl Metaboliaeth will involve more than thirty artists and performers, creating fifteen live events or situations over the space of three days, in and around the City of Bangor.

The artists will be exploring new ways of engaging, of challenging and questioning the roles of performer, audience, participant, and place.

Gwyl Metaboliaeth is the second festival created as part of the AHRC research project, ‘Reinventing the Live Event’ led by Dr Sarah Pogoda of Bangor University. Gwyl Metamorffosis 2021 questioned the effect of the pandemic on live art practice. Gwyl Metaboliaeth asks how do physical and virtual states of being merge in a post-pandemic world? Can we maintain the windows into alternative worlds that the Metamarffosis 2021 Festival opened? If they are closed, how can we re-open them?

The festival will take place in venues across the area, including University Rooms, Café’s Pubs and on the street.
