Join Professor Dame Sue Black and Professor Ben Bollig for a post-show Q&A panel on Rewind, at the North Wall Arts Centre in Oxford.
About Rewind
Forensic anthropology and physical theatre collide in this compelling, kaleidoscopic show inspired by Latin American refugee stories.
Premiering at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe to critical acclaim and multiple awards, Rewind is a visually stunning, deeply powerful new show, inspired by testimonies of Latin American refugees and migrants across generations. Drawing from the science of Forensic Anthropology as both methodology and a form of resistance, Ephemeral Ensemble combine energetic physical performance, dynamic live music and a distinctive style in a show unlike any other.
Committed to remembering those who endured, and those who continue to live under authoritarianism, Rewind ultimately tracks back through time to reveal a universal story of the struggle for social justice.
