Reimagining Theatre, Redefining Belonging

LegalAliens Theatre is a migrant-led, women-led ensemble and Theatre of Sanctuary based in Haringey, North London.
Since 2012, we have platformed migrants and refugees as participants, artists and creatives. Our work is bold, original, and unafraid of challenging power structures. We are inspired by the great pioneers of the 20th Century (Brecht, Boal, Brook, Lecoq, Bogart) but with our own original twist. From plays in translation, to novel adaptations, to devised performances, our productions resist tokenism, disrupt clichés and dismantle dominant narratives, demonstrating theatre’s transformative potential.

Our Commitment:

Reimagining theatre: Blending theatre traditions from different continents with a highly visual aesthetic and a physical approach
Building opportunities: Offering free classes and career opportunities for refugees and migrants via our Tottenham Project.
Educating future generations: Using theatre as a tool to teach language and training migrant artists at the beginning of their career
