Winner of the Most Memorable Show, Lustrum Award 2023. Part of the modular series I AM: A first-generation immigrant straddles her Habesha (Eritrean/Ethiopian) heritage and British identity only to realise, when you leave everything behind for the promise of something better, it’s not "better". A poetic reflection on memory loss, displacement, tradition and survival, interwoven with language, customs, music and wearable tech MiMu gloves (as used by Imogen Heap). Neither a musical, nor drama: a new kind of storytelling. 'A unique experience' (Kate Nash). Outstanding Performance nominee Filipa Bragança Award, 2023.

About LULA.XYZ

I AM – One of many, many of One is a performance by LULA.XYZ, presented at the Iron Belly.

Neither a musical nor drama, it offers a new kind of storytelling.

Why see this show?

A wholly original form of storytelling that blends technology, music and personal testimony into something genuinely new. The combination of wearable MiMu gloves with themes of displacement and heritage makes for an unforgettable experience.
