Shadows United is a collective of Rotterdam-based artists, with and without a legal residency status, connected by a shared dream: a world in which everyone has access to fundamental human rights. Inspired by the ideas of Paulo Freire, Augusto Boal and Bertolt Brecht, they come together to create challenging and innovative work. Using shadow theatre, they tell stories and make invisible experiences about being ‘undocumented’ and therefore often unseen, visible. Through light, movement and recycled materials, they create an interactive space of imagination, solidarity and hope. Audiences are invited to explore, play and collectively imagine a more just and humane world.
