NIGHT FIVE of our International Performance Festival Celebrating Shakespeare features Madeline Sayet's WHERE WE BELONG (Mohegan Tribe / Connecticut, US) on Friday January 9 at 8:30pm (running time: 85 min) at the LSPU Hall, 3 Victoria Street. $25 tickets available from the box office.
Madeline Sayet’s one-person play is a celebration of language and investigation into the impulses that divide and connect us as people.
The play follows Achokayis as she travels to England to pursue a degree in Shakespeare, grappling with the question of what it means to remain or leave her own home at Mohegan, as the Brexit vote threatens to disengage the United Kingdom from the wider world.
Moving between nations that have failed to reckon with their ongoing roles in colonialism, she finds comfort in the journeys of her Mohegan ancestors who traveled to England in the 1700s to help her people.
Achokayis’s transformation journey leaves us with the question, what does it mean to belong in an increasingly globalized world?
