Join a guided tour of a distant city where nothing seems to make sense. Its people are silenced and its landscape is disappearing.
In this city, daily life is stranger than fiction: you can see the sea but are forbidden to touch it, being honest is illegal and those with ancestral connections to this place are forbidden to enter it. Propelled by a need to tell the city’s story before it is forever forgotten, a resident records the stories behind his favourite places.
Your journey to this mysterious place will take place within the area surrounding the Barbican. All you need is a pair of comfortable shoes and an open imagination. Headphones will be provided for audiences to follow the story along the tour. Co-created by Ramzi Maqdisi, a Palestinian actor, filmmaker & writer and director Olivia Furber.
Duration: 70 minutes walking. Age Guidance: 15+
The performance contains sensitive material and references to violence. The headphone soundtrack includes some loud and sudden sounds. You will have access to control the volume yourself.
