Ķīn | Gecko & National Theatre
DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY and EDITOR
In 1932, Leah and her family escaped persecution and embarked on a journey from Yemen to Palestine.
Ninety years later, her grandson Amit Lahav (Artistic Director of Gecko) reflects on the life-changing decision his family made to flee and build a better life.
This powerful piece of physical theatre is a provocative story of desperation, compassion and acceptance, inspired by the migration stories of Gecko’s international performers and the extraordinary voyage Leah undertook as a young child.
Amit Lahav and the company’s remarkable devising ensemble bring their own personal experiences to this poetically intoxicating performance, touching on the themes of migration, community, racism and home.
