For Refugee Week 2017 The Showroom will host an evening organised by Micro Rainbow and PJ Samuels. A rambunctious, irreverent romp through the the pleasures and pain of being a refugee; in song, poetry and dance.
See exhilarating performances by refugees and asylum seekers and rejoice with us as we celebrate being alive! Come laugh and cry with us; mostly, come and be entertained!
