Refugee! Teaser

Refugee! is a powerful co-creation about survival features a poignant original score, tender movement, words and comedy, with the show’s cast working in collaboration with migrant and refugee communities to showcase their stories.
Weaving together urgent, important interviews, conversations and real-life testimonies from the performers, migrant, refugee and sanctuary seeking communities, this timely new play will embody the vibe and excitement of a nightclub.
Set on an ancient burial ground, where the UK is now a crime scene, Refugee! tells the story of four characters in search of belonging. Under the rubble they find evidence of hope and humanity, as well as traces of violence and despair, and our own government's complicity in war crimes.
