A magical guide to fighting fascism

Una guía mágica para luchar contra el fascismo

מדריך קסום למלחמה בפשיזם

A young girl’s remarkable journey across the world and back in time to learn how to survive.

“A Magical Guide to Fighting Fascism” is a fascinating story based on historical events – the Chilean dictatorship, the Jewish diaspora in the UK, and the second generation Australian experience. Told in three languages with an AV design that weaves surtitles into the performance to create easy understanding, audiences of all backgrounds are sure to be transported to 1970’s Chile, 2000’s Australia, and modern day Scotland as they follow our protagonist: a young girl on an epic journey across the globe to uncover the truth about the women living in these places who used music, culture, mythology, and magic to survive.

The performers blend storytelling, puppetry and live music in an impressive display of skills as they multi-role and flow between monologues, mythology, satire, and song – all whilst operating a complex and magical display of lights on stage to create the atmosphere key to the show. Audiences who value the unique charm of live performance will adore this piece which puts women at the heart of the story, celebrates the resilience of the human spirit, and shows that through the darkness, there is always light.
