When The Real World Crashes In (Part 2)

In part 2 we’re looking at the impact of politics on the most
recent productions from Dash Arts. We explore our 2025 production
of The Reckoning, which brought real-life testimonies from
Ukraine to the stage, and the upcoming 2026 production of Our
Public House, inspired by speeches from people across
England. 


Marina Pesenti, former Director of the Ukrainian Institute, looks
back at how more than a decade of artistic research, events and
productions deepened our understanding of the Ukrainian context
and enriched the work. Similarly, playwright Barney Norris
reflects on the challenges of continuing to navigate the shifting
political and social landscape in the UK and its influence on Our
Public House.


Go to the Dash Arts website for your tickets to We Are Free To
Change The World; a new series of three Dash Cafés exploring how
artists and creative activists respond to the urgency of our
times. Through performance, film and conversation, each event
will bring together creative voices to consider how we act and
how we do this together.
