I once met a group of people who wanted to levitate a derelict Theatre in Swansea. I felt intrigued to dig deeper, so my Film will be released in 2022 so please get in touch if you have a story to tell about your time at the Palace Theatre, Swansea, please get in touch.
The Palace Theatre first opened it's door in 1888. The wonders of the World poured into Swansea via this building. Ethiopian singers, French jugglers, black comedians took to the stage and performers brought animals never seen before- snakes, exotic birds and even Elephants. Pioneering people of all races and backgrounds went through that door to sing, contort and dance. This is where many Welsh people saw their first ever moving pictures and were introduced to the latest technologies.
I felt compelled to tell the story, and also find out they intended to levitate a 10,000 tonne building?
