THEY CALL ME NINA

ME LLAMAN NINA
Nina is Peruvian, she lives in flat 243 (officially the unluckiest house number in the UK). Her neighbour Ali speaks a completely different language and is the opposite to Nina in every way. They have only passed each other in the corridor like ships in the night; until now, because when Nina moved in she brought a storm.

You don't get to choose your neighbours, and in this dark comedy Nina and Ali are forced to face the world together.


Inspired by El Nino and La Nina, the fierce Peruvian weather phenomenon that causes simultaneous storms and droughts across the planet in a pattern of opposites.


Originally devised and presented in Peru February 2014, in association with Escena Contemporanea at Teatro Britanico, Lima.

This is a bilingual performance (English, Español)
