“Having met some actors from LegalAliens, I was awestruck by their enthusiasm.
Their starting point, the themes and the way they embrace their work are definitely to be encouraged. Be brave!
You are in a country that has always been open to new ideas and culturally fervent projects. SUERTE! And a big hug.”
Dario Fo, Nobel Prize winner

WHAT'S ON
LegalAliens' founder Lara Parmiani returns with her kaleidoscopic piece inspired by her journey from a grey, industrial, Italian suburb to 1997 London, taking audiences through time, language, gender cliches and anti-migrant narratives - from "Cool" to "Cruel" Britannia.
What happens when a woman is forced to negotiate two cultures, while not identifying with either?
Through storytelling, music, physical theatre, and visual elements, Shapeshifting explores what happens when one is forced to negotiate two cultures while not identifying with either. Which parts of a migrant's identity are lost together with their native language?
Entertaining, tender, and at times brimming with anger, Shapeshifting tells a story of resilience and female empowerment through a fragmented narrative interrupted by movement, comedy, music, projections, and a "WRONG WORD'' alarm…
The show is accompanied by a workshop dedicated to migrant and refugee artists and those who don't feel at home in their own country. The title of the workshop is "Staging personal journeys".
