Mimosa - The epic journey of the Welsh settlers who created a Wales beyond Wales archive

150 years ago, on 28 May 1865, a ship called The Mimosa set sail from Liverpool for Patagonia. On board were a group of hopeful Welsh families in search of their Patagonian oasis, committed to setting up a Welsh community 7,000 miles away. But their expected paradise was a devastating myth. After years of hardship and against all odds, they succeeded, and that Welsh speaking community continues to exist in Patagonia today. This musical show, Mimosa, is performed by a unique gathering of young people from both Wales and Patagonia, together with professional actors. Following this performance at Chapter, this special show will tour Patagonia, sharing the story of how the first Welsh community settled in South America. Please note: This is a Welsh language production.
