Sun up, Rain falls, River rises – Part of Journeys Festival International 2020

12 — 18 October 2020 Entrance is free

The sun comes up on Goitom Fesshaye cycling off to work at his family shop in Eritrea. Syed Haleem Najibi plays in his glistening village in Afghanistan after the rain when all other forms of entertainment are banned. Mohamed Abdu stands on the banks of the great river Nile in Sudan and wishes he had the same power to cross borders.

Created by Phosphoros Theatre, Sun up, Rain falls, River rises takes the form of three audio narratives which you are invited to listen to at sunrise, after the rain and when you’re walking by water. Three new compositions by Mira Seigel respond to and complete each narrative.
