Who were my parents when was I born? What was my homeland like before I learned to speak? How many versions are there about what happened before I existed? We all wonder sometimes. The writer, director and actress Lola Arias goes further: in this work, both political and playful, six Argentinean actors born in the 1970s and early 1980s use photographs, letters, old clothes and memories to reconstruct their parents' pasts. As each actor recreates dimly remembered, half-understood scenes from the past, dark issues surface along with the joy and humour of lives recovered. My Life After treads the borders of reality and fiction, the intersection of private tales and national history, as it asks questions of truth, heritage and identity. UK Premiere
