Event
You, Me and the Distance Between Us
The CoResist Collective bring Ellen Muriels new autobiographical play to Hamilton House. You, Me and the Distance Between Us uses a unique blend of poetry, puppetry and song to expose her expectations, experiences and insecurities of volunteering along Europes refugee route over the last 8 months.
Muriel brings alive the existential issues that surround this mass movement of people, encouraging the audience to consider their own position within it.
What is my relationship and responsibility, as a white, middle class volunteer, towards the refugees crossing Europe? Should I turn a blind eye, uncomfortable with my own privilege? Or throw myself in to help with little but my good intention behind me?
The stage resembles French and Greek makeshift camps, with a simple set made entirely of found objects from the proximity. Muriel uses a combination of shadow and cloth puppets, slam poetry, live acapella singing and humorous role play to entice the audience into an honest dialogue, using her own experiences as a base to address popular misconceptions surrounding this media frenzy.
Since its creation in May 2016 the show has been performed in 4 different countries and continues to tour this autumn.
