BMBH Community Try-Out Performance

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

In the theatre performance As I Left My Father's House, three characters - with Christian, Jewish and Islamic backgrounds - each share 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.

'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
