[the truth]

One of the biggest cultural projects of its kind ever seen

a weekend where the great city of cardiff is transformed into the city of the unexpected , roald dahl world.....to commemorate the great cardiffian roald dahls 100th birthday

The Welsh capital will become a place where reality is turned on its head, and where the laws of physics, logic and the predictable will give way to magic, fun, invention and the surreal, as if Roald Dahl himself is at the helm. This epic weekend will involve a cast of thousands of performers from across the city and jaw-dropping spectacles.

Immerse yourself in everything from large-scale events to intimate performances - all staged across Cardiff’s streets and public spaces, in shops and arcades, at iconic buildings and parks. Born in Cardiff, one hundred years ago this September, Roald Dahl’s imagination has touched the most extraordinary number of people. It has been part of our childhood and our children’s childhood.

To mark his centenary and to give thanks for the legacy he created, this will be a totally surprising celebration of the man, his characters and his stories. Produced by Wales Millennium Centre and National Theatre Wales, in association with The Roald Dahl Literary Estate, and led by a creative team from Wales and across the globe, Roald Dahl’s City of the Unexpected will be a world-class event worthy of a world-class writer.

characters , live theatre, live music, actors , performers, artists popping up all over the city endless events in the theatres, the waterfronts, the shops the streets the castles and the parks and everywhere else lol

I like to quote bruce lee from time to time as it makes me appear more insightful lol...the great man once said...Your own little life is a mere one thousandth of what you know, your true talent lies in your imagination"
These kids will never ever forget this for the rest of their lives and who knows what magic it will inspire in them....oh and the adults too
