Talawa Theatre Company are heading on tour with an outdoor production The Tide. Co-created by award-winning writer Ryan Calais Cameron and choreographer Jade Hackett, The Tide highlights experiences of migration in the UK. Join Talawa Theatre Company for a free performance of The Tide at Croydon Carnival.

Holding a mirror to an evolving British culture, The Tide incorporates live music and moving explorations of the experiences of new arrivals in the UK as they navigate a new land. Cameron and Hackett’s multi-disciplinary production examines migration through an abstract and visually exciting lens, following stories of arrival, welcome, rejection and exclusion.

The Tide is Talawa’s first show ever designed for exclusively outdoor settings, enabling the artists to engage with audiences in a different and enriching way.

Having wowed festival audiences in 2019 in a production supported by Without Walls and again in 2021, the production is touring from July to September, bringing this arresting anthology of experiences to life at festivals across the UK from 2nd July – 3rd September 2022.

The Tide was created and developed with support from Talawa Theatre Company, Greenwich+Docklands International Festival and Breakin’ Convention.
