Aaliyah (After
Antigone) in Bradford and online for one more week only!

“What do you wanna be remembered for when your children
say your name?”
And we are live! We are so thrilled to be bringing this
contemporary adaptation of Sophocles’ Greek tale, Antigone, written
by Bradford's own Kamal Kaan, to you this week.
Each performance of Aalliyah (After Antigone) will
be both digital and live, so if you can’t be here in person you won’t
miss out!
In an office somewhere in Bradford, Aaliyah and Imani
are trying to get on with their cleaning job while anxiously waiting
for news of their brother, Syeed, threatened with deportation to
Bangladesh. When Home Secretary, Parveen Parvaiz, announces the news
they dread, Aaliyah must rise up and face the might of the State but
her political activism puts her own life in danger.
Putting the spotlight on the fragile nature of citizenship
in the UK and making us question our own relationship to ourselves
and our country, we hope you can join us for this powerful new play,
either in Bradford or online!
Performances take place in real life at Impact Hub
Bradford, Digital Exchange, 34 Peckover Street, Bradford BD1 5BD or
watch digitally on your mobile device via app or stream on your
PC/laptop. Booking is required in advance for both the live in person
show and to receive the links to watch online, for booking links and
full information follow the link below.
Age Recommendation 12+
Content warning: references racism, citizenship, death, violence and
illness.

Scientist
John Tyndall from Carlow first figured out why the sky is blue!
|
|
When
sunlight hits the atmosphere, the blue colour is reflected in all
directions, while the red colour is not. This is why the sky is
blue.

Discover scotland's unesco trail
Did you know
Scotland is home to six World Heritage Sites, two Biosphere
Reserves, two Global Geoparks, and three creative cities? That's
a supersized helping of history, nature and culture!
If you aren't sure
what UNESCO status means, it's similar to how National Park status
helps to tell you a place is special. Scotland is now the first
country in the world to bring these truly unique sites together into trails to enjoy at a
pace that suits you.
