Guayabo

Guayabo (Venezuelan slang for “heartbreak”) is a grief party connecting people in England with Ania's family, who are immersed in the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, through the long-distance exchange of rituals of celebration and grief.

Audiences first hear from Ania's family through a film recorded in Venezuela, and then begins an hour of live communication between the two countries; via WhatsApp messages, lights that turn on and off, acts of protest, singing, clapping and partying.

The show is a meeting point to recognize together the reality of migration and its hardship, the perseverance and richness of our common losses and the opportunities found in facing grief collectively.
