Details

Two people from Poland. One real, one imagined. What happened - or might have happened - between there and here. The distance from living the dream to waking up in a shared room with mushrooms growing out of the carpet. From desperately missing your child to falling in love with a foreigner. Drawn, remembered and dreamed from the stories of the here-for-goods, the go-betweens and the left-behinds, Cherry Blossom is a co-production between the Traverse and Teatr Polski in Bydgoszcz. It is a bilingual performance with a Scottish and Polish cast, using a mixture of written, devised and verbatim text with a state of the art multimedia design to create a powerful production that explores the myths, ideas and realities of migration and identity in the 21st century.
