“What colour eyes you have doesn’t matter to me. Does it have to matter to you? We all love to play don’t we?”
The world premiere of a new work by Diane Samuels (author of award-winning Kindertransport).
AS LONG AS WE ARE BREATHING is a multi-sensory, mixed media and timely evocation of the true-life story of Miriam Freedman.
Directed by Ben Caplan, the piece conjures Miriam’s childhood experience of living in danger, hiding with some of her family in Slovakia during the Holocaust and charts her journey to London in adulthood where she discovered yoga and meditation which enabled her to face and begin to process the depths of her trauma and grief.
Live music accompanies audio and video footage, personal testimony and physical theatre to piece together an intimate, surprising and moving encounter with Miriam’s older and younger self. We invite audiences to delve within to contemplate Miriam’s loss and search for healing, peace and forgiveness in a shared theatrical experience.
Audiences are invited to stay in the space after each performance until 9pm to reflect on the piece, share their thoughts, and are welcome to take a closer look at the playing space.
