When Swallows Cry
Power. Prejudice. Inequality. When Swallows Cry by Mike van Graan is a trilogy of interweaving immigration stories set across three continents – Africa, Australia and America. Each playlet offers a depiction of the spaces that immigrants are forced to occupy and the places that they are denied access to. These hard-hitting accounts are told by three actors who interchange roles. Lines are blurred between what makes one person a victim and the other a perpetrator.
