Tickets: Pay What You Want via Eventbrite
Local Wrexham music and theatre artists will perform protest songs, plays and poetry highlighting industrial crimes committed against our communities and landscapes. See them celebrate the resilience of how the people of Wales use music and stories to rise, protest and fight for survival.
Wrexham and Wales have suffered social and environmental crimes from mining and industrial activities for years. Gresford, Aberfan, Tryweryn, Borras: these names and more are etched on our lived memory. The hurt is still felt in our communities to this day. What role can we all play on the frontline of our current social and environmental crisis?
The mining state of Brazil, Minas Gerais, has recently experienced two mining catastrophes in three years with more to come.
The live performances are followed by a screening of documentary VALE? IS IT WORTH IT? followed by a panel discussion with the director and a Q&A session.
Synopsis: Through music, poetry and circus performances, five Brazilian artists talk about their grief, fears and hope four years after the Brumadinho Dam collapsed, killing 300 people.
The documentary (30’), directed by Paul Heritage and Marcelo Barbosa (Indianara, 2019) focuses on the impact of the collapse on the artistic and cultural heritage of this rich mining region in Brazil and asks – Is it worth it?
The documentary was produced by Peoples Palace Projects as a result of an international research project Roots of Resilience by People’s Palace Projects/ Queen Mary University of London and University of Manchester. The study mapped the value of tangible and intangible heritage of the Iron Quadrangle in Brazil in partnership with five local artistic organisations directly impacted by mining activity.
This event will also feature live performances from Wrexham-based musicians as a response to the themes of the documentary.
This event is a partnership between Tŷ Pawb, People’s Palace Projects and Dirty Protest.
Dirty Protest is Wales’ new writing theatre company working across the nation and internationally. We create theatrical tequila without the paraphernalia, all for the cost of a pint. We stage new, sell-out award winning plays in theatres and alternative venues, from pubs and clubs to kebab shops, hairdressers, forests and a bus stop.
People’s Palace Projects is an arts research centre bringing together artists, activists, academics and audiences to challenge social and climate injustices through the power of the arts – in the UK, Brazil and beyond. Directed by Paul Heritage, People’s Palace Projects is a subsidiary of Queen Mary University of London.

Sinopse: Com música, poesia e performance circense, cinco artistas mineiros falam de suas dores, medos e esperanças quatro anos após o colapso da barragem de Brumadinho que matou quase 300 pessoas. Diante da destruição ambiental, o documentário volta o olhar para a arte e o patrimônio cultural de Minas Gerais e pergunta- quanto Vale?
O documentário (30′), dirigido por Paul Heritage e Marcelo Barbosa (Indianara, 2019) é o primeiro filme no Brasil sobre o rompimento da barragem de Brumadinho a direcionar o olhar ao impacto dessa tragédia à arte e cultura da região.
