Dolmuş Minibus is a vibrant cabaret performance that explores through music,. movement and storytelling the journey of SWANA immigrants who bring the iconic Dolmuş bus to London. Through their initiative, they aim to create a self-organised, utopian community—a safe haven for SWANA immigrants in a new city.
The story unfolds through an interview conducted by Simon, a provocative TV host, whose divisive rhetoric pits Western and Eastern cultures against one another. Simon perpetuates orientalist stereotypes, questioning the legitimacy of these immigrants’ cultural narrative.
Dolmuş Minibus challenges the audience to consider a vital question: Who gets to tell the story of a culture? Blending humor, sharp critique, and poppular music!
"Companies like us genuinely would not be making theatre if it was not for the ability of CPT and its team to identify artists who are worth taking a chance on."
