What the charity does

We use the power of theatre to change lives and change minds. With displaced artists centre-stage, we bring people together through theatre and art to create surprising stories that spark new conversations and encourage action on complex urgent issues of our time; migration, climate crisis and polarisation. We have delivered 550 events globally and reached 1.1m audience members and participants.
