Details

The Uninvited is an unaccompanied performance piece telling the extraordinary stories of refugees and exiles, from all over the world, past and present. Poems, writings and testimonies are woven into songs - Spanish, Yiddish, Filipino, Farsi, Bosnian - sung both in original language and in English translation. The sung and spoken narrative is interwoven with Articles from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The play is a celebration of the courage and dignity of people who have been forced to flee their homelands, and an indictment of the double standards of 'The West', in response to their plight. A panel led discussion will follow the performance. Speakers include: Mani Thapa - Refugee Action; Elvis Ndukire - The Refugee Council; Audrey Smith - Voluntary Action Calderdale and Kate Fawcett - St Augustine's Centre.
