Night of the Triangles is a live performance and film installation exploring the phenomenon of the night of the triangles where locals across Swansea claimed to see UFO's. The famous intergalactic night has become Swansea folklore when giant triangle aircrafts were spotted across the city skyline. Kathryn will take you on a cosmic journey of remembering this unique Swansea history and investigate who our extraterrestrial visitors may have been. Join Ashill and fellow local performers at GS Artists over the course of the Swansea Art Weekender to delve into this interstellar night, and to take a look at iconic alien scenes in public and popular culture.
Press Release:
Join Artist Kathryn Ashill and local performers as they retell the story of the infamous intergalactic Night of The Triangles. Multiple sources claimed to see numerous UFO’s across Swansea’s night sky. Ashill presents this performance and exhibition after a period of research that explored the history of this night. Reports were made of eyewitness accounts by children, teachers and local residents, who all claimed to experience seeing a large triangular shaped object fly in the sky on a cold January evening in 1983.
Ymunwch â’r artist Kathryn Ashill a pherfformwyr lleol wrth iddynt adrodd hanes Noson Rynggalactig enwog The Night of Triangles. Honnodd sawl ffynhonnell eu bod yn gweld nifer o UFO ar draws awyr nos Abertawe. Ashill sy’n cyflwyno’r perfformiad a’r arddangosfa hon ar ôl cyfnod o ymchwil a oedd yn archwilio hanes o adroddiadau llygad-dystion gan blant, athrawon a thrigolion lleol, a honnodd pob un ohonynt brofi gweld gwrthrych mawr siâp trionglog yn hedfan yn yr awyr ar noson oer ym mis Ionawr 1983.
