Biographical history
Sawl Bywyd was a week long continuous performance in 110 scenes at an outdoor location, namely at the National Eisteddfod of Wales in Llandeilo. The performance sought to extend the 'theatrical' so that it became a performed 'installation'. The production dealt with the lives of eight individuals: Man Friday from the novel Robinson Crusoe, Lynette White, Sarah Jacob the Welsh fasting girl, the assassination of Rabin, the murder of Dutch Schultz, the death of Llwyd ap Iwan, and an angel.
