Synopsis:

In January 2011, National Theatre Wales took audiences on a taxi ride around the well loved streets of Butetown. The idea for The Soul Exchange was first born in 2009 during a visit to Cardiff by three exciting young artists from Contact Theatre in Manchester  Ali Gadema, Borhan Mohammedi and Yusra Warsama. The three spent a lot of time in Butetown, meeting artists and community leaders like Leanne Rahman, and generally getting excited by the cultural richness of The Bay. This initial visit was followed by a year of workshops and research, with Butetown artists including Gavin Porter, Anthony Brito and many others coming on board. During their visits to Butetown the Manchester artists had discovered that taxi drivers often had the best stories to tell about the area. The Butetown artists explained the importance of the Coal Exchange building to local history. A random meeting on the street provided the story of a man looking for his father. Director Kully Thiarai and her fantastic creative team came on board to turn the ambitious ideas that had emerged into an extraordinary theatrical reality. This sell out show celebrated the communities past and present of Butetown.
