The Return trailer | Wed 28 May 2025
The Return follows a young woman’s escape from the aftermath of her war-torn country in search of safety and belonging. Now, having settled and found a home in Britain, history comes back to haunt her as she finds herself fighting the same battles again thirty years later.
Combining storytelling, movement, poetry and performance art The Return asks questions about identity, bureaucracy and collective memory.
Based on real life experiences of living in Croatia during the breakup of former Yugoslavia this devised production is a testament to the resilience of the human connection. The piece unveils fragments of a family history, delves into the surreal circumstances surrounding conflict and explores what goes into finding hope and peace. Expect touching, visual theatre with a disarming dry-wit humour.
