Haunts
It’s 2006. In a small town in North Wales, 16-year-old Morgan stands on the edge of his future, guiding us through haunts, hangouts and nights that linger long after the last bus leaves.
The year is 2006, Tony Blair is Prime Minister, Twitter has just been launched, and young people are quickly getting used to a world where social media and technology are beginning to take hold. 16-year-old Morgan, voiced by Callum Scott Howells (It’s a Sin), is searching to understand where he belongs, his journey set against the backdrop of a community in Llanberis – a small town at the foot of Snowdon in Wales.
Directed by Tom Chetwode Barton and Lucy Hammond (Monoliths, Traitor) with immersive concept development by Dreaming Methods, we are transported to a time when analog and digital worlds collide, sharing moments from Morgan’s life as he travels through this poetic rite-of-passage odyssey.
Produced with Wales Millennium Centre, created in collaboration with Wales Broadcast Archive, and Museum of Youth Culture, Haunts is a single user VR experience that interweaves visual traces of landscape with archive footage and creative storytelling.
Opening at Wales Millennium Centre on 1 March – 12 April 2026
Featuring music by Welsh artists including Super Furry Animals, John Cale and High Contrast.
Haunts has been made possible with The Heritage Lottery Fund and is a Wales Millennium Centre, Pilot Theatre and Dreaming Methods co-production in collaboration with The National Library of Wales and The Museum of Youth Culture.
