You did not leave home like this. This is what the journey does

This Refugee Week, watch our brand new One Voice solo performance, This Is What The Journey Does, written by Maaza Mengiste, directed by Noma Dumezweni, with movement direction by Jade Hackett, and performed by Stefano A Addae and Martina Laird.

This piece is a continuation of our 2021 One Voice: HOME series, curated by Noma Dumezweni. All three 2021 performances are also now available to stream again until Wed 20 Jul.
