Until I Find You / Hasta Encontrarte (working title) is a new theatre piece and an international collaboration between Ad Infinitum (UK) and El Ingenio Del Caldero (Mexico) examining the disturbing phenomenon of forced disappearances in Mexico. We have gathered stories of women known as 'The Disappeared' - speaking to their relatives, the authorities, social groups, and journalists. We will draw inspiration from these narratives and create a theatre piece unfolding the fragmented life of a mother slowly fading away in the never ending search for her disappeared daughter.
This project began in 2021 with some initial R&D, and the production of a podcast which you can listen to here: https://ad-infinitum.org/until-i-find-you
The engagement will be for 5 weeks in Bristol for rehearsals, including some work-in-progress sharings (exact location/s TBC) from Monday 17 June - Friday 19 July.
There is the possibility of travelling to Mexico for two weeks of rehearsals in October. This is subject to additional funding and would be further discussed with the candidate at interview. We are happy to receive applications from people who are available for rehearsals in Bristol but not the dates in Mexico, and the candidate's availability for Mexico won't affect our decision on who we recruit.
We will pay a weekly rate of £585.
We are committed to creating a more diverse workforce and will work to provide any access support or working arrangements that are required for individuals to deliver their best work.
