Conceptualised and Performed by Patrice Naiambana.
A Solo Digital Performance exploring the psychological pressures facing an African immigrant-outsider.
Skewered between the expectations from back home and the challenges of conformity in his new country, our traveller is confronted with avoidable questions: ‘Who am I? What Do I stand for?’ There is a peril in the un-becoming of being a from ‘here and there’ person. Will he survive by putting flesh on silences?
Part of ‘The gospel of Othello’ programme (Hull, May-October 2019), run by Tribal Soul Arts and supported by the Ferens Education Trust.
