her house is gone
her home is destroyed
her world has changed
I am her
A girl comes home to find her house has disappeared. The neighbours have fled and the streets are deserted. her is a compelling story of a 15 year old London girl who inexplicably finds that conflict has made her an alien in her own country.
Drawing on the experiences of ordinary people confronted with displacement as a result of war, this at times shocking play features one actor playing different versions of the girl. She navigates the harsh realities faced by young women in conflict zones and the difficult choices they have to make to survive.
Using innovative green screen technology to integrate animation, film and live action, her combines the emotional depth of theatre with the visual intensity of the graphic novel to create a dark and twisted world of politics, war and survival.
The performance is immediately followed by a short talkback session, giving audiences a chance to discuss the creative processes used to make the show and the issues raised by the production.
