We exist both where we’ve come from and where we’re going
In 1932, Leah and her family escaped persecution and embarked on a journey from Yemen to Palestine.
Ninety years later, her grandson Amit Lahav (Artistic Director of Gecko) reflects on the life changing decision his family made to flee and build a better life.
This powerful piece by acclaimed physical theatre company Gecko is a provocative story of desperation, compassion and acceptance, inspired by the migration stories of Gecko’s international performers and the extraordinary voyage Leah undertook as a young child.
You can’t beat Gecko, Amit Lahav has a distinct theatrical style which is unique in British theatre
