An immersive musical journey from Africa, Iran and Cuba to London 2016. The performance features an original combination of speech, song and recorded sound with a cast of six torture survivors from Iran, Cuba, Uganda, Burundi and Ethiopia, supported by a chorus of other clients and staff of Freedom from Torture. Exploring the themes of love, unexpected friendship, prison, laughter, and above all, music - from the violin buried by order of the Ayatollahs, to the African song unwittingly sung to the occupants of a British Library reading room.
