ROUTE 4 is the second performance in the 2025 season of THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME - a programme of new, original solo performances by independent actors and theatre-makers. All of this year's five shows will take place in The Room, a new set designed and built by Swansea artist Bourdon Brindille. Whats it like to be somewhere new for the first 30 minutes? Is the ground different, does the air smell funny and is it inviting after a long journey? Arnold Matsena transforms the room into a place most people have never had to visit or could never imagine visiting. Through movement and dance we will witness the war between the land and the sea. Will this be a place of hope or a cold reality? Arnold is a dancer and an artistic director with close to twenty years of experience specialising in Hip-Hop and contemporary dance. Even though Swansea is his home base, Arnold has been focused on being a facilitator and cant wait to show a different side to him as a performer. Arnold was crowned Mr Wales in 2012 and since then he has been focused on pushing the arts in Wales to the world stage, supporting and nurturing the next generation of artists in Wales.
