'NOSTOS – Oil in Water' is a multidisciplinary performance that explores migration, memory, and the body as a vessel for ancestral stories. Drawing from Capoeira, Greek traditional practices, and improvisational dance, the piece reflects on the fluidity of identity and cultural belonging. Through waves of movement and ritual elements from our personal backgrounds, we seek to embody the push and pull of migration – an experience akin to oil floating on water: present yet never fully blending.

Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
