An all new image for Giles Terera's debut play The Meaning of Zong is released today. The image features Olivier award-winner Giles Terera in the role of Olaudah Equiano, alongside company members Kiera Lester, Bethan Mary James, Alice Vilanculo and Paul Higgins.
The production is a story of how positive change is possible - sometimes against all the odds - through the power of the human spirit.
THE MEANING OF CHANGE - Community Project
Inspired by this story, Bristol Old Vic is launching a community call out, celebrating the power of positive change. The project marks the upcoming production of The Meaning of Zong, written by and starring Hamilton award-winning actor Giles Terera, which opens on April 2.
Over a two-week period from today, the theatre is asking individuals, public figures, groups and organisations across Bristol to share their own stories of change and what changes you want to see in the future.We are asking participants to share video messages about:
- A moment of change you have lived through (the change may be extraordinary or general, but special to you).
- An inspirational individual you are aware of who has brought about change.
- A change you would like to see in your lifetime.
Curated submissions will form the basis of a digital art installation, projected onto the theatre's historic 255year-old wall before performances of The Meaning of Zong.
- please film in landscape, somewhere quiet, with minimal background noise.
- film in one take (pauses and restarts can be edited out later);
- make sure you have permission from everyone in shot;
- to keep the camera/phone steady,
- in a well-lit place
To share your story on a moment of change, you can record and send video to marcomms@bristololdvicorg.uk including your name, organisation (if applicable) and a contact email.
