As I Left My Father's House - BMBH try-out

Who are you? And who do you become when you must flee your country, learn the harsh sides of the world, and are seen by those around you as 'the other'?

In the theatre production As I Left My Father's House, three characters - with Christian, Jewish and Islamic backgrounds - each tell their own story. Through monologues, poetic texts and live music, themes such as displacement, identity and the passing of stories to the next generation are explored.

This is a try-out of the production, to be seen at Theaterhuis De Berenkuil in Utrecht.

*'I no longer want to hide
Hide who I am
I no longer want to be afraid
Afraid of the night
Afraid of being rejected by people
I want to fly again like a dove'*
- Bright O. Richards
