It casts a kaleidoscopic lens on survival through prejudice, violence, racial inequality and the struggle for breath among Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities and families, exacerbated by the pandemic. The play explores the grip of two interconnected viruses killing in the UK; COVID-19 and racial discrimination; and the importance of oxygen for our lungs and for life. The fictionalised experiences in this play are based on comprehensive research by the Consortium on Practices of Wellbeing and Resilience of BAME families and communities (Co-POWeR) and was co-developed with research participants across England and Wales.Writer: Raminder Kaur - Director : Mukul Ahmed - Dramaturg: Dr Alda Terracciano - Graphic Artist: Edgar Lushaju - Production Designer: Constance Villemot - Composer/Sound Designer/Filmmaker: Karen Boswall - Lighting Designer: Paul Micah - Stage Manager : Colbert Newsome - Publicity Assistant: Poppy BennettWith Maria Austin as Edie/Abu/Various - Eleanor Fanyinka as Bibi/Aaliyah/Various and Rez Kabir as Ibn Khaldun/Tahir/Dr Panesar/Various PRODUCED BY:Sohaya Visions - Click <a href="https://www.sohayavisions.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a> to visit the websiteOur vision is to celebrate internationalism and cutting edge cultural diversity through the arts, especially theatre, film, multi-sensory and digital media.In partnership with the Consortium on Practices of Wellbeing and Resilience of BAME families and communities (Co-POWeR) - Click <a href="https://co-power.leeds.ac.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a> to visit the website “Two viruses – COVID-19 and racial discrimination – are currently killing in the UK” (Solanke, 2020).
