Banner Theatre: We Share The Same Sky

A brand new production about work, migration, recession and resistance

Banner Theatre's acclaimed video ballad productions combine original music and song interviews and digital media. With over 30 years' experience of touring issue-based shows to community audiences, Banner has a long record of delivering high quality productions that challenge prejudice and encourage action.

"An inspiration - proves the power of the arts to reinforce morale and create a culture of progress" - Tony Benn

"Having seen Banner's work before I knew they would be professional, challenging and thought-provoking" - Arts Development Officer, Barnsley

"Fantastic: everyone should see it. The real stories are really shocking, more shocking than I realised the real situation was" - Youth Manager, Cornwall

"I cannot imagine a better way to express what is happening in the world through performance" - NHS Health Trainer, Rotherham

Banner Theatre's new multimedia show looks at the world of work and migration in the context of the global economic downturn. Using in-depth video interviews, digital media and original new music and song, Share the Same Sky, weaves together the stories of three visitors to Britain:

• From Afghanistan, Ali fled the Taliban, who murdered his brother, and come to Britain in search of safety.
• From Poland, where unemployment has been spiralling, Natalia has come to Britain in search of work.
• From Venezuela, Edenis visits Britain and compares life in Britain with the popular revolutionary changes taking place in his home country.
