NIUSIA

Niusia was a Holocaust survivor. Her granddaughter, Beth, only remembers an angry, dying woman. She’s ready to learn her stories, but what she discovers is all the questions she didn’t know existed, and wasn’t allowed to ask.

Weaving together memories, stories, and interviews to examine the precarity of identity and the haphazard cultural legacy second, third, and fourth generation immigrants are handed, Beth asks 'what does remembrance look like when all we can remember is the space where questions should go?'.

Following a sell-out, multi-award-winning Edinburgh Fringe run, NIUSIA returns to the Adelaide stage for one final, strictly limited run!
