Windows of Displacement at HOME

Kristy Stott, Theatre Editor

Windows of Displacement at HOME Manchester, Manchester 25 — 27 October 2018 Tickets from £12.50 — Book now

Windows of Displacement, choreographed and performed by Akeim Toussaint Buck is an autobiographically sourced solo; blending dance, song and spoken word to explore personal narratives, ancestral memory and the shifting (and increasingly urgent) politics surrounding the movement of people.

Using his experience of being born in Jamaica and now residing in the UK as starting point, Akeim Toussaint Buck explores both historical as well as current political and socio-economic references.

Drawing on the contexts of imperialism, colonialism and displacement to create a captivating story of the past, present and future of humanity, Windows of Displacement takes its audiences on a journey galvanising people power and reclaiming our collective responsibility.
