Where did the magic 90?
Back in the mists of time King Arthur lived with his Knights of the Round Table and the fair Guinivere. Britain lay covered in forest and hundreds of little kingdoms fought each other for honour and power. There was a lady and a lake and a sword in a stone and the most handsome and brave knight of all, Sir Lancelot. We know these things like we know that Eve bit into the apple; legends that in some vague way shape our idea of an ancient mythology,
but details are hazy.
‘There's a kind of folk knowledge of the Arthur stories but when you start piecing it together it’s very contradictory,’ says Andy Cannon of Wee Stories, whose latest large-scale project explores the many stories surrounding Arthur. ‘The three of us who are doing it have different opinions. We’re trying to show not just
historically what happened but the political story. The big thing that Arthur represented was “King of Kings" and he
unified all the petty kingdoms so that peace could eventually reign. It’s very hard not to get caught up in the romance of it all, particularly with the Pre-Raphaelite depictions; it's quite camp and there's a lot of strutting about. There’s such a romantic, ideal beauty about it all. But it’s also brutal.’ In the way that Ridley Scott's Gladiator embodied all the big themes with blood, sweat and more sweat, Wee Stories is going large, encompassing not only the different stories but the various ways of telling them, from the prancing Pre-Raphaelites to the weighty Thomas Moore. Projections of visual representations will be cast upon
the background and hundreds of books will be stacked up in their many versions. ‘The projections work two ways,’
notes Cannon. ‘We use them as a backdrop and there are some musical sections where we’re hoping to put together a small resume and reflections of the art. What I really want to get over is that it‘s a folk story and that it
belongs to everybody.’
Knights sitting round the table - an early model of democracy - is reflected in Wee Stories' egalitarian telling of their tales, but their fragility is never far away. ‘The final battle is so brutal that you really want to hold onto the tragedy and the waste of it all. Some versions of the story are actually called the death of Arthur. And the whole point of the story is how did this magic thing go wrong?’ he says. How indeed; come and find out. (Ruth Hedges)
