Synopsis: | O Patrin (The Way) is a system of Gypsy symbols imparting knowledge of conditions on the road or showing the way. A wail resounds through the thick forest air. A young girl and an old woman meet in a clearing, both struggling to find their way, each dependent on the other to survive. Can they bring themselves to reach out or will one of them have to let go? Universal themes of identity and belonging are explored in this specially commissioned play for secondary school audiences. Rich Gypsy heritage including dance and live music is interwoven with imagery of indigenous cultures from around the world. A follow-on workshop encourages students to reflect and find personal meaning in the plays themes as well as increase their knowledge and understanding of the represented communities | |||||
