"How much do we change when we move to a new country? What do we embrace, resist, leave behind?"
Lora Krasteva made a show about applying for citizenship and if it's possible to 'become' British. Here, she expands her scope - asking what it costs to be a migrant within the British theatre industry?

A thought-provoking resonant theatrical experience showcasing music and dance, deeply rooted in the culture and spirituality of the Yoruba people. Directed by Mojisola Kareem(Here’s What She Said to Me, Far Gone). Selected by The Guardian as a best theatre production coming in 2025. Book your tickets: https://bit.ly/3yeuOr6
