Rush – Through the eyes of my ancestor
Imperialism, migration and gentrification; words that are synonymous with the plight of people still feeling the echoed effects of the past to this day.
Created and developed by Chickenshed’s diverse creative team and student groups, Rush will explore the colonisation, movement and betrayal of people on three fronts; through the eyes of three women, whose experiences are linked by their shared ancestry.
Early colonised Africa, the Windrush scandal and modern day gentrification.
Are the mistreatments of certain people coincidental or a systematic repetition from powers that be?
A funny thing happened on the way to the theatre …
