0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Why is it called - the Grapes Festival, Gerallt?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Good evening, Sian.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- I'm joined by two of the event - organizers.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- Let's hear more about the festival.
0:17:25 > 0:17:32- Grwp y Grawnwin first met - at the Grapes Hotel in Maentwrog.
0:17:33 > 0:17:40- Yes, I was invited - to meet a handful of people...
0:17:40 > 0:17:45- ..with the aim - of holding discussions.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- The group had one thing in common.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- We felt that there wasn't any - opportunities...
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- ..for people to discuss - spiritual things.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- As a result, we set up this group - and we have met ever since.
0:18:02 > 0:18:09- About half the people who attend - our meetings do not go to a chapel.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- I think that's a good thing...
0:18:11 > 0:18:16- ..as we get ideas from people who - are not from a religious background.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- This exchange of ideas is important - and we learn from one another.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- We welcome everyone - and it's held through Welsh...
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- ..but you don't need to be - totally fluent to take part...
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- ..as the important aspect is express - what is in our hearts.
0:18:38 > 0:18:46- In one of your articles, you state - to place new wine in a new bottle.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- There's a number of reasons - for this.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- The name of "grawnwin" or grapes - is very apt.
0:18:55 > 0:19:01- The idea of a new bottle - for new wine is Biblical...
0:19:01 > 0:19:07- ..and that is the feeling - expressed by the group.
0:19:07 > 0:19:17- We didn't want the group to be too - large so that everyone had a voice.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24- If the group exceeds 15 or 20, - then we would start a new group.
0:19:24 > 0:19:32- In English, there's a saying about - things going through the grapevine.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37- I think the name of the "Grawnwin" - or Grapes is very apt.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47- That was a brief explanation - of the aims of the group.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52- I'm now joined by the actress, - Mair Tomos Ifans.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- The theme of the first show - is domestic violence.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- We tend to think of it as a modern - story but it's much older.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Violence against women is something - that has always happened.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- When I was commissioned - by Tecwyn Ifan for a performance...
0:20:08 > 0:20:13- ..he asked me to look at the story - of Gwenfrewi from the 7th century.
0:20:13 > 0:20:20- I looked at the tale and adapted it - to a middle-aged Welsh woman.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- That's what I've tried to do.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- The audience is waiting - so I'll let you go and prepare.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33- In that feature, we saw - a clip of the Busy Bees Cafe.
