Ali in Wonder(Eng)land

Work:: Ali in Wonder(Eng)land (S491730459)

Co-created over a year of weekly classes with migrants and refugees in Tottenham Hale, Ali in Wonder(Eng)land is a whimsical and imaginative exploration of the experience of migration viewed through an absurdist lens. Using Lewis Carroll's classic tale Alice in Wonderland as a frame, the show weaves together personal stories, improvisations inspired by the Life in the UK test and ensemble moments, with performers from the cast of 17 each taking turns to play the leading role. The show follows Ali as they arrive at the doors of a strange land - but being allowed in isn't as simple as it looks. Random questioning, people shouting “illegal alien!”, and to make things worse Ali's body keeps changing size. Will Ali ever be able to regain control?
