refuge island
22nd June | 12:00, 14:00, 17:00 | Fitzalan Square
Refuge Island is an exhilarating 20 minute dance performance that explores stories of female migration and the human capacity to offer a place of refuge.
As a lone woman appears on a pedestrian refuge island images begin to flicker within the bollard and soon we hear why this brave woman was forced to leave her home. The audience is taken on a journey hearing stories from Ireland to Bosnia to Afghanistan.
Created by Whispered Tales, choreographed by Lisa Simpson with a stunning performance by Shahda Nantaba and Olena Hrabchak. Refuge Island is a captivating emotive dance performance not to be missed.
