Winner of the Most Memorable Show, Lustrum Award 2023. Part of the modular series I AM: A first-generation immigrant straddles her Habesha (Eritrean/Ethiopian) heritage and British identity only to realise, when you leave everything behind for the promise of something better, it’s not "better". A poetic reflection on memory loss, displacement, tradition and survival, interwoven with language, customs, music and wearable tech MiMu gloves (as used by Imogen Heap). Neither a musical, nor drama: a new kind of storytelling. 'A unique experience' (Kate Nash). Outstanding Performance nominee Filipa Bragança Award, 2023.
