There and Here – 2024

Year of Production

2024

Launching Refugee Week 2024, this performance brought together an ensemble of people from Iran, Colombia, Afghanistan, Congo, Peru, Cameroon and Ukraine.

During a three-week project at The Place, participants came together to sing, dance, express their creativity and share their individual stories and collective resilience.

There and Here is dedicated to the over 100 million people worldwide forcibly displaced because of persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations, or disasters of climate change.

Winner of The Stage Awards 2023 for Community Project of the Year, There and Here is part of Protein’s inclusion programme, Real Life Real Dance.
