PLAYlabs: How To Have Fun In A Civil War

Presented by GREAT Theatre at Helgeson Learning Lab Theatre

Minnesota-based Somali playwright and performer Ifrah Mansour revisits her childhood memories during the 1991 Somali civil war to confront violent history with humor, and provide a voice for the global refugee stories of children. How to Have Fun in a Civil War, is a one-act multimedia play, which explores war from an idyllic viewpoint of a seven-year-old Somali refugee girl. The play weaves puppetry, poetry, videos and multiple oral stories taken from community interviews to tell a captivating story about resilience while pushing the audience to engage in a healing process that is still raw for survivors of the war.  Best enjoyed by ages 6 and up. Runtime is approximately 55 minutes. Post-show discussion to follow.
