Two brothers reunite to honour their sibling's life at a celebration of remembrance. As they begin to explore letting go, they are forced to confront their shared past and long-standing estrangement.
Following the sell-out run of SAMSKARA (The Yard), this brand-new work by Lanre Malaolu explores the challenge of forgiving yourself for a lifetime of suppressed emotion, while celebrating the profound bond of brotherhood and the resilience that can be found in joy.
A powerful fusion of movement, song, and text, Now, I See is an exploration of identity, forgiveness and nature’s visceral power to heal.
Now, I See is the second instalment in Lanre's trilogy that excavates and celebrates the truth of being a Black man in contemporary Britain.
Presented by Stratford East.
Following the performance on THU 30 MAY, there will be a free post-show talk for ticket holders. Hosted by Rotimi Akinsete, the panel will include António Ferreira (Mental Health Activist), Lanre Malaolu (Writer and director) and Trevor Knight (IRIE Mind). The talk will be BSL-interpreted by Suzy Evans.
