Milk Presents - ‘We Too Shall See’ - sharing event documentation

I the midst of a heatwave I documented a sharing event performance of ‘We Too Shall See’ for the Old Diorama Arts Centre. ODAC supported the development of the project through providing the rehearsal space.

‘We Too Shall See’ is a collaborative project between UK-based queer theatre company Milk Presents and Egyptian artists, as part of a British Council / Arts Council funding project, New Conversations Egypt.

The project is a digital collaboration between Jo Tyabji, Milk's associate director, an Egyptian Film Maker Sami Yassin and choreographer Nagham Salah Othman. It’s exploring borders, international borders but also borders within ourselves and identity. With performance from Valerie Ebuwa.

The rooftop space provided by British Land PLC.
