REWIND to Premiere at New Diorama Theatre in January

Following the smash hit run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2023, the critically acclaimed and multi award winning REWIND embarks in a national Spring tour. The piece is a powerful and moving exploration on human rights and people affected by authoritarianism.

Inspired by testimonies of Latin American refugees and migrants across generations, the show collide physical theatre and forensic anthropology to reveal an intimate backward journey into the life and death of Alicia, a young woman who dared to resist against authoritarianism. Winner of the Summerhall's inaugural Rewind Award 2023 (award aptly named after our show, for stories of decolonisation) and Summerhall's LUSTRUM Award 2023, REWIND ignites audiences imagination with a whirlwind of striking images, dynamic live music and energetic physical performance.

The Ensemble says, We are committed to remembering those who endure, and those who continue to live under authoritarianism. Although the performance is based on memories of Latin Americans, the piece reveals a universal story of the struggle for social justice. We put in perspective the past as we look at the future, placing empathy and consciousness in the foreground of this work.

Ephemeral Ensemble is a global majority led physical theatre ensemble. They make work driven by a theme or a question, which inspires them to find fact-based stories that shine a light on current hidden social issues. Collaboration between the artistic team, the community and professionals in other fields is vital to our process. They work is political, visually striking, highly dynamic, thought provoking and moving at heart. They combine the high physicality of the performers, original music and playful interaction with the stagecraft to create a narrative.
