Description

A Land Full of Heroes - BE Festival Premiere

As part of the project 'Testimony in Practice', Sara Jones worked with the Catalan documentary theatre company 'La Conquesta del pol sud' and the Romanian and German novelist Carmen-Francesca Banciu to create an innovative theatre production that staged Banciu's life and literature. The play was performed by Carmen-Francesca alongside her daughter Meda Gheorghiu-Banciu, who is a professional actor. The premiere was hosted by the Birmingham European (BE) Festival in July 2019. UoB's Creative Media team produced a 'Making Of' film about the production, which explains the collaboration and its impact on the participants.
