Here's what you need to know...

I am Hamzeh. My favourite shisha flavour is double apple. I love dancing.

Here's what's going to happen...

There will be loud music. A wedding. My first time on a plane. A lot of moonlight.

This is the story of my life (so far). People have a lot of questions. The answer is

"Yes.

I can do anything."

Full of humour and beauty, Hamzeh Al Hussien’s extraordinary story takes you on a personal tour of the places he knows best. His village in the Syrian mountains, Za’atari camp in Jordan, Gateshead and inside his mind: a place full of music, dancing, fantasies and marbles. Hamzeh invites the audience to be his childhood friends, to hold up the moon to light his way, and into his dreams, brushing the dust from his clothes...and taking the stage.

Please note, there are concession tickets available for £1 for those seeking sanctuary as refugees and asylum seekers.

Warnings: This show includes stories about being displaced due to war, refugee camps and ableism (disability discrimination).
