Altered Skin present Fatherhood

Drawing from personal experience with contributions from participants from differing cultural backgrounds, the piece also explores how the migrant experience has influenced fathers and fathering across different generations.

The piece features three characters, each reflecting different experiences of fatherhood in their own individual performance language to create three interconnected narratives leading to a highly dynamic and original work.

Every performance of Fatherhood includes creative, integrated captions that will translate the spoken and signed languages and describe sounds for deaf and hard of hearing audiences. The sound design also reflects the experience of sound by the deaf character.
Fatherhood features a deaf character who uses his own home language, a version of sign language that individual families and communities develop, often where deaf and hearing people need to communicate. The show also features several different spoken languages, Turkish, Malayalam, Tamil and German.

Fatherhood is supported by Arts Council England, In Good Company, The Sir Barry Jackson Trust and FABRIC.

Age guidance 12+. Run time 70 minutes. Occasional strong language, references to physical violence
