Stories Cardboard Citizens Annual Review 2012–2013
Pericles Pericles was a unique collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), fusing the narratives of asylum seekers from around the world with Shakespeare’s classic tale of exile, loss and reunion. A small-scale story-telling version of the play was taken around asylum-seeker centres and used to initiate reciprocal story-telling by refugees in the audiences. The testimony contained in these previously untold stories was then incorporated into a large-scale site-specific production of the play, in a disused warehouse complex on the Old Kent Road.
