Like Enemies of the State by BeFrank Theatre Company is a thought-provoking and visually engaging play based on the real-life stories of three child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Having escaped one of the world’s deadliest wars, they find themselves alienated from society and forced to live as outcasts. They, amongst many others, are facing a difficult decision: either retreat into poverty and social rejection or to take power into their own hands by rejoining the battle. The performance will be followed by Communicating Human Rights through Theatre, a workshop aimed at students of secondary school age, looking at how human rights issues can be expressed through theatre, with Tommy Lexen, writer and director. |
