Aisha is on the run. Forced to flee her village and give birth to her baby girl in the Sahara, she crosses the globe in search of shelter, but to find it, she must overcome the terrible cruelties of nature and man. The award-winning Belarus Free Theatre return to explore the profound impact of environmental change through the lens of local myths and legends. Incorporating true stories and native folklore from Belarus, Brazil, Nigeria and India, Red Forest weaves together a tapestry of stories to create a new legend of man and nature. Featuring live music and choreography, BFT challenges us to face the epic cycle of human and environmental destructiveness. A Belarus Free Theatre and Young Vic co-production commissioned by LIFT as part of the Imagine 2020 network, supported by the EU Cultural Programme
