Event Information
About this event
British artist and writer Una and Brazil theatre collective Coletivo Rubra All welcome you to this specially devised production of Una:Dedicated to All the Others. A collaborative adaption of Una's critically acclaimed graphic novel Becoming Unbecoming. We will bring you chat in English and Portuguese, live music, a 40 minute, subtitled film of our recent performance of Becoming Unbecoming/Desconstruindo Una, and questions and answers from the audience. Please join us for this celebration of a beautiful novel and a powerful bond between artists working together, over 6,000 miles apart.
The evening begins with a short introduction from artist/writer Una in English and theatre director and poet Felipe Vieria de Galisteo in Portuguese, followed by a specially devised, 40 minute, performance by Coletivo Rubra (in Portuguese with English subtitles). Una will perform some of the songs that feature in Becoming Unbecoming, and Coletivo Rubra will perform their traditional song Reloj de Campana. The performance is followed by an intimate discussion between Coletivo Rubra and Una, with interpretation. There will be ample opportunities for questions and discussion from the audience.
The play is the final stage of a period of research into what it means to make creative responses to experiences of violent and sexual crime, funded by Arts Council England. Dedicated to All the Others is an arts project based on the 2015 graphic novel Becoming Unbecoming by Una and includes shareable web resources from international contributor), participatory workshops and this inspiring live event.
