The University of Northampton Branch are excited to be able to invite members to a free, online event exploring asylum in Britain.
Ice&fire have been successfully running Actors For Human Rights since 2006, sharing verbatim testimony on a variety of human rights topics across the UK. Working with both actors and people with lived experience to perform the testimonies in non-theatre spaces.
Detention Monologues is their most requested script, which presents experiences of people seeking refuge in the UK. They have collected over 30 such testimonies (women refugees, LGBTQIA+ refugees, boat journeys, detention, deportation, political persecution, trafficking, young refugees, undocumented migrants, etc).
The set up is very simple & impactful - three interwoven testimonies (45 minutes in total) are read by professional performers followed with a Q&A and facilitated discussion.
