This podcast dives in to with a conversation with two superb street artists Thoth & Lila Angelique who use a powerful mix of voice, song, dance & ritual in their performance under the tiles at Bethesda Terrace Arcade. Thoth describes himself as the Arcade ‘elder’; he’s been performing in this space for more than 20 years. The interview was recorded on Saturday 24.9.19 during the first Our Beth pop up event at Bethesda Terrace Arcade & under the Minton Tile Ceiling. Lila describes the space as ‘home’. Their work is fundamentally inspired & influenced by the Arcade & Ceiling. Thoth explains passionately how the “the tiles are part of the work”. Last but not least; Thoth & Lila Angelique met & fell in love under Our Beth!
