Asylum Dialogues - Thursday 1st July @ 7.30pm with post show Q&A and light refreshments
Admission FREE Scripted by Sonja Linden
"We regularly hear about the terrible hostility that asylum seekers and refugees face. But we rarely hear the stories of British people who are standing shoulder to shoulder with those seeking sanctuary in the UK. Asylum Dialogues tells these inspirational stories and shows how small gestures of welcome can make a big difference."- Juliet Stevenson
What happens when you meet someone who has fled their country to seek refuge in the UK? What happens when that person becomes your friend and needs your help? Drawn from real life conversations, Asylum Dialogues explores the everyday encounters between asylum seekers and British people, encouraging us to challenge our own preconceptions.
Performance group iceandfire explores human rights stories through performance - and will be bringing their work to Bradford this July. Asylum Dialogues is performed by members of their national outreach network, Actors for Human Rights, made up of over 500 professional actors dedicated to drawing public attention to a range of contemporary human rights concerns. The actors and musicians involved volunteer their performance skills and public profile to encourage public acceptance of human rights laws and principles and to give voice to people whose basic human rights have been violated.
At the Bradford Playhouse, we believe in supporting groups such as iceandfire and providing a receptive and supportive venue. We would love their event to be a success and welcome any questions you may have, so please get in touch on 01274 820666 or at adam@bradfordplayhouse.co.uk if you need any more information. The event is FREE so please forward this e-mail on to as many people as you can and help us spread the word about this inspirational performance!
