"Every time someone asks where I'm from, it's a reminder of how lucky and privileged I've been. In 1994 Rwanda was in the news for all the wrong reasons, it was being torn apart by a civil war and a genocide. Unlike millions of others, my family escaped. And we got all the support in the world because we were 'refugees'. But were we, really?"
A thought-provoking quest to find a singular voice. The genocide in Rwanda shocked the world. Back then, Ery Nzaramba was only a teenager and his family's escape to Europe turned him into a "survivor". How should he now respond to questions about who he is and where he comes from? In this autobiographical one-man play, performed to acclaim on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the author journeys back to his Rwandan childhood. With the help of a cassette player, he brings to life nearly a dozen characters, exploring memories of kinship, cultural attitudes and personal identity. Both funny and poignant, the play highlights not only the intolerance that can breed violence and war but also the importance of power and privilege in the struggle for survival.
