Set on a multiracial street somewhere in the UK, breaDth combines real with surreal situations during the COVID-19 pandemic, casting a kaleidoscopic lens on survival through prejudice, violence, racial inequality and the struggle for breath among BAME communities and families and exacerbated by the pandemic.

Written by Raminder Kaur (Sohaya Visions) and directed by Mukul Ahmed (Mukul & Ghetto Tigers), the play explores the grip of two interconnected viruses currently killing in the UK; COVID-19 and racial discrimination; and the importance of oxygen for our lungs and for life. The fictionalised experiences in this play are based on comprehensive research by the Consortium on Practices of Wellbeing and Resilience of BAME families and communities (Co-POWeR) and was co-developed with research participants from BAME families and communities across England and Wales.

Produced by: Sohaya Visions 

Our vision is to celebrate internationalism and cutting edge cultural diversity through the arts, especially theatre, film, multi-sensory and digital media.

In partnership with Co-POWeR (Consortium on Practices of Well-being and Resilience of BAME families and communities)

and

Mukul & Ghetto Tigers
