About
An urgent new play about memory, belonging and the shadows of war.
Two lives. One past. A hundred years apart. A story that refuses to stay buried.
Berlin, 2022. Artur, a 19-year-old refugee, is stuck in a city that doesn’t feel like home - caught between worlds, between roles and haunted by the ghosts of his escape from the Syrian civil war.
When someone from that journey suddenly reappears, what begins as a joyful reunion soon becomes a reckoning with identity, memory and the question of how to be free.
From the deserts of 1915 to the chaos of today, Bones in the Desert traces the long shadows of war and the lives it still shapes. With raw honesty and urgency, it confronts mental well-being, racism in contemporary Europe and the devastating cost of silence.
From Half Moon, the UK’s leading small-scale young people’s venue and touring company.
