Asylum Dialogues and Exiles Express (Daphna Sadeh and Nawroz Oramari)

Colston Hall Bar
Tickets £6/£8. To book: www.colstonhall.org

In celebration of Refugee Week 2008 this evening combines the launch of a new documentary play, Asylum
Dialogues and a performance from Isreal born double bass player Daphna Sadeh and her band the voyagers with Kurdish vocalist Nawroz Oramari.

Asylum Dialogues is a new play by iceaandfire and Actors for Refugees in conjunction with Refugee Action. The play celebrates friendship and solidarity between British people and asylum seekers living among them.

"I honestly used to say – send 'em all home. They shouldn't be here. It's an English country. They take all our money. Then this woman turned up to clean my office and turned the world upside down."

"We regularly hear about the terrible hostility that asylum seekers and refugees face. But we rarely hear the stories of British people who are standing shoulder to shoulder with those seeking sanctuary in the UK. Asylum Dialogues tells these inspirational stories and shows how small gestures of welcome can make a big difference. "

Daphna Sadeh has created a seemingly effortless inter-cultural soundscape combining Jewish, Middle Eastern and Meditteranean music traditions with Jazz.
