This new performance work is the culmination of a project with Kinship Carers, a Liverpool charity supporting people who care for a family member’s or friend’s child. The performance weaves together personal and shared stories from young people, grandparents and carers, expressed through movement, words and film. A compassionate tale of hope, courage, love and determination.
