A powerful virtual reality performance where Bangladeshi women’s experiences of the War of Independence will take centre stage. This thought-provoking production will allow audiences to experience first-hand what it was like to experience the war and in turn leave for the UK in the 1970s and 80s in quest for a new life.
Developed from artist-led story-gathering workshops with local Bangladeshi women in Birmingham, Walsall, Manchester and London, and brought to life by director Abdul Shayek and writer Kamal Kaan, AMMA will shed light on the often unheard experience of women through the War of Independence in Bangladesh, vividly preserving these important voices for future generations.
