This week on Pain in the Arts, Chris and Jak explore the future of Welsh arts — from community‑led opera to cutting‑edge immersive tech, and a major new culture announcement from Wales’ new Culture Minister, Heledd Fychan.
We talk:
• Fio's x Music Theatre Wales’ modern opera
• The Annwn Prize and the rise of immersive art
• Whether VR will replace traditional theatre
• Heledd’s new culture & sport strategy
• Arts and health
• Why Wales is becoming a leader in immersive storytelling
Plus: two big listener questions on immersive art and the future of the sector.
Warm, insightful, political and full of creative optimism — this is Pain in the Arts at its best.
