We are implicated, so are you.... This performance emerges from a series of workshops using Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed. Invisibility, discrimination and injustice, achievement, change and aspiration, all elements of the experience of going to live in a new city which emerge from this participatory performance. Implicated Theatre have worked in collaboration with the Migrants Resource Centre, UNITE's Hotel Workers union and Justice for Domestic Workers. Implicated Theatre has been working since October 2011 on a series of workshops and performances as part of their residency with the Serpentine Galleries' Edgware Road Project. Instigated by artists from no.w.here and working with theatre director Frances Rifkin, the experimental workshops explore the relationships between political speech and action, the self and the collective, voice and silence. Forming close relationships with migrant's rights groups and unions, Implicated Theatre creates theatrical interventions inspired by real-life struggle, and highlighting issues of social justice.
