Efêmera

presented by Footprint Project and CASA Theatre Festival

(UK premiere - Brighton Fringe)

Two women have a story to tell. They may have the courage to share it with you, they may not. Efemera is a metatheatrical verbatim play, with a twist. A powerful, humorous and delicate piece, a love letter to theatre and to women.

Inspired by real stories of violence against migrant women and girls collected in interviews led by Professor Cathy Mcllwaine from King’s College London.
