National Youth Dance Wales and Ballet Cymru Live at The Riverfront, Newport

National Youth Dance Wales will perform The Night Is Darkest Just Before The Dawn alongside Ballet Cymru as part of an evening triple bill.

This poignant piece pays tribute to the quiet champions in our lives — those who stand beside us, fight for us from the shadows, and expect no recognition in return. They are the unsung heroes who carry us through our darkest moments.

“A hero can be anyone, even someone doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a little boy’s shoulders to let him know that the world hadn’t ended.”
— Batman: The Dark Knight Rises
