Jennifer Irons, a UK immigrant from Canada, is told after Brexit to “go home”. But she hasn’t lived there in 25 years, and the kicker: Canada doesn’t want her either.

Channeling her childhood hero, ‘Canada’s sweetheart’ Elizabeth Manley, Jennifer straps on roller skates and dives helmet-first into a glittering world of freewheeling misfits.

With German techno, dancing salmon and absurd humour, award-winning choreographer and dancer Jennifer embarks on a chaotic, darkly surreal quest through colonialism, identity and the search for belonging.

Presented as part of Journeys Festival International.

Age guidance: 12+ Running time: 1 hours 5 minutes (no interval) Show warnings: This production contains discussion of people smuggling, deportation and swearing.
