Britain's What's On Event Guide
Journey of a Refugee
Inspired by true stories of refugees and displacement, Theatre-Rites with Agudo Dance Company bring Journey of a Refugee to London in February 2024. This powerfully moving piece is inspired by Theatre-Rites’ acclaimed 2017 and 2018 production The Welcoming Party, which was originally co-produced by Theatre-Rites, Manchester International Festival, Z-Arts and the Ruhrtriennale Festival. This timely and engaging production explores the journey and arrival of a refugee to the UK, and the universal theme of people searching for a place they can call home.
Audiences young and old are encouraged to immerse themselves in the world of the performers, and experience true stories told through a beautiful blend of puppetry and performance. Dealing with complex and difficult stories in a simple and hopeful way, this promenade production is made for audiences of all ages.
Journey of a Refugee is at Stanley Arts Centre as part of the London Borough of Culture 2023 This Is Croydon. The Mayor’s London Borough of Culture award brings culture and creativity to Londoner’s doorsteps. It supports work designed and led by local people, empowering communities and contributing to the increased health and wellbeing of residents.
