SWIM is a compelling creation by Jivesh Parasram, Tom Arthur Davis, Gavan Cheema, and David Mesiha, loosely inspired by the epic poem Laila & Majnun. This powerful production examines the perilous journey from Güzelçamlı, Turkey, to the Greek island of Samos as individuals seek asylum, delving into the profound effects of migration and the human spirit's resilience in the face of displacement. Scheduled to run from January 23 to February 9, 2025, this production is presented in collaboration with the PuSh Festival.
