What you’ll do

Watch Boaz Barkan ‘dig’ into a living naked body in an intimate and playful performance about internalised racism and how we carry it with us in our bodies. Boaz draws parallels between the history of his Jewish-German family before World War II, and the life of Muslim-Danish communities today.

BSL interpretation will be provided during the Sunday 7 April show.
