Border Crossings

“I’d love for audiences to see a different side to the argument.”

SUPPLIANTS OF SYRIA starts from a simple question: who gets to shape the story of migration?

In this Q&A, Albie Marber, Tobi King Bakare and Vlad Gurdis talk about creating devised theatre alongside filmed testimony, navigating the space between personal experience and performance, and what happens when audiences become part of the conversation.

Created in collaboration with Syrian refugee women in Turkey, SUPPLIANTS OF SYRIA brings filmed testimonies into live dialogue with physical theatre, poetry and at times humour in a contemporary reimagining of Aeschylus’ Suppliants, the first drama to confront the politics of asylum.

Each night ends with a public debate, inviting audiences to explore the play’s unresolved questions.
