I AM – One of many, many of One

A poetic reflection of memory loss unpacked through an Afro-Futuristic lens.

Winner of the Most Memorable Show, Lustrum Award 2023. Part of the modular series I AM.

A first-generation immigrant straddles her Habesha (Eritrean/Ethiopian) heritage and British identity only to realise, when you leave everything behind for the promise of something better, it’s not "better". A poetic reflection on memory loss, displacement, tradition and survival, interwoven with language, customs, music and wearable tech MiMu gloves (as used by Imogen Heap).

Neither a musical, nor drama: a new kind of storytelling.

Outstanding Performance nominee Filipa Bragança Award, 2023.
