Theatre and dance production Bridges y Puentes to be performed in Dover car park

Real-life migrant stories, Argentine tango and a interactive theatre extravaganza will be performed next weekend - in a car park.

Bridges y Puentes tells migrants’ powerful stories: memories emerge through text, visual imagery, physical action and a soundscape of live and recorded music from all over the world.

Performed by outside theatre specialists The Ragroof Players and in collaboration with Dover Big Local, the play is a celebration of community, dance and theatre and will be performed at the Charlton Centre.

On arrival audience members are given a passport and invited to go on a journey with the cast of characters, played by six actor/dancers (who have all themselves had close experience of migration). An overload of sound, music, dance, storytelling, smell and emotion gives the audience some sense of their journey.

As an immersive piece audience members become crowds at a train station, they go through passport control, they are the hustle and bustle of a city street, they are the friends we leave behind. The migrants’ own voices are heard on the soundtrack as the company invites the audience to stay a while and welcome these people into their lives.

The play will be performed at the Charlton Centre Car Park - Meet at Charlton Centre Cafe 10 minutes before the show.

Friday 22 September at 7.30pm and Saturday 23 September at 4pm and 7.30pm
Tickets: Dover residents £2 / £1. Non-Dover residents £6 / £4 +booking fee
