About Fatima’s Promise - Festival of Migration theatre performance
The story of Fatima’s Promise is set in an imaginary place far away, but draws upon true stories, perils and dangers of forced migration, as a little band of family and friends’ journey towards a hopeful future in a new land.
Created by Palestinian exiled writer Ghazi Hussein through a workshop process with a cast of migration experienced young people and adults from Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. Celine Al Zaida, who plays Fatima, had some acting experience in Iraq before leaving with her family for Turkey, for the rest this is their very first time performing.he play is directed by multi-award winner Alan Caig-Wilson.
Community Co-ordination by Zakariah Berrada. In Arabic with English surtitles approximately 45mins – suitable for age 10 and above with parental guidance. The play depicts some harrowing stories subtly presented and suitably mediated for younger audiences.
After the Play we are delighted to welcome Francesca Sella From Just Right Scotland to give a 15min presentation on the impact of the Refugee Ban Bill on migrant children.
