BECOMING
Reps Main Stage
Reps Main Stage
From the Streets to Now is a contemporary autobiographical dance performance based on a true story, in which Samwel Japhet reflects on his journey from the streets to the present, after living as a street child across cities in Tanzania for over a decade. In this piece, Samwel revisits the layers of his past, the complexities of emotions, memories, and growth shaped by homelessness, abuse, survival, and the search for belonging. Through this performance, audiences are invited to witness and experience a journey of overcoming adversity and reclaiming one's story, through an immersive combination of storytelling, movement, images, text, and music. Becoming is not only a reflection of Samwel's personal journey but also a testament to those who have grown up in challenging environments, confronted societal norms, found new homes, and continued "to get on with life".
La Celestina

La Celestina is a groundbreaking tragicomedy set at the dawn of the Spanish Renaissance. It tells the story of Calisto, a young nobleman consumed by his desire for Melibea, who turns to the cunning procuress Celestina to win her love. Through manipulation and deceit, passion is ignited-but greed, betrayal, and unchecked desire soon lead to violence and tragedy. Blending realism with powerful dramatic tension, the play explores timeless themes of love, fate, power, and the pursuit of pleasure. With its bold portrayal of human desire and a fiercely independent heroine in Melibea, La Celestina remains a strikingly modern reflection on the consequences of living for the moment.
MOTHER DOESN'T KNOW MNEMOSYNE

Reps Theatre Upstairs
The short play "Mother doesn't know Mnemosyne" inquires into memory, the fractured legacies of motherhood, history and identity. Evoking the Greek goddess of memory - Mnemosyne - it draws upon Tra's personal memory and intergenerational trauma against the backdrop of Vietnam?s complex socio-political landscape in 1980-1990s. Slow-pacing, with much silence around the repetitive action of hop-scotch, it mediates and also resists coherence, asking "how do we reconcile the fragments of our past with the demands of the present?"

YELLOW DOG DINGO

Dr. Julian Pinimidzai Simango is a doctor. Not just any doctor. A cardiothoracic surgeon. He is the shizzle, the drizzle in the salad, the sizzle on the steak. Then comes a crisis. Ordered by his NHS Trust in Edinburgh, Scotland to either give up his medical license, or attend a rehab clinic after he had an altercation with a patient he recognized as a face from his past, Julian moves between savage humour, rage and grief as he is forced to confront the trauma that has held him hostage since childhood and as he comes to terms with the broken man he is, and the damage that was done to him as one of the hundreds of thousands of men, who, as boys, suffered historic sexual abuse over decades by clergy of the Catholic Church.
