Tour: Inclusion & Trauma Awareness

Hello everyone!!! So nice of you to read this Campaign for Arts and Social Change. Here is all about us.

What?
Matilde and Lula, a creative tour through theater to promote inclusion and raise awareness for post-war trauma.  

Logline: Matilde, a dreamer and Lula, an intelectual, waltz their way through Post-War Europe in search of a home. With the help of a hut and some imaginary champagne, they discover that friendship is more important than reality.  

Mission: Generate inclusion amongst individuals from different countries and cultures while raising awareness and compassion for armed conflict survivors through a theater performance. 

How?
Using the stage as a medium, we create a world of theatrical possibilities. We use  the power of performance devices such as clown and magic realism to generate empathy and diminish the gap between different cultures and life circumstances where conflict and trauma is often experienced. 

Who? 
Tessie Herrasti, writer, director and actress.
Andi Yuma- Actress and Creative Assistant.
