ABOUT THIS WORK
An ensemble cast of families who have survived living in temporary accommodation perform alongside Alice Zawadzki and Nadine Benjamin to voice the story of many families who are homeless in the UK.
The pieces chart a family’s flight from trauma (FLY) to parent’s daily struggle (WORK) to make ends meet; striving to give their children the best.
Young children sing about what they need to feel safe (CHILDREN).
Lastly women and their children (GROW) ‘stand up to face the sun’ as they seek nourishment and a safe place to heal from the past.
The works were developed in collaboration with CHAMPIONS, University College London and De Montfort University.
