Becoming [...] Concept Touring
Becoming […] is a series of co-created, site-specific residencies exploring identity and belonging through the voices of local first-generation migrants. From immersive gatherings to protest performances, each chapter - across the UK, Germany, Romania, and the Czech Republic – responded to its local context. Supported by Perform Europe in 2022, the series reimagined touring as locally relevant, rooted, collaborative, and politically engaged.
