A Solo Performance Exploring Migration, Identity and the Space

Between Languages. This May, Bath audiences are invited to experience an intimate and

physically driven solo performance that explores displacement, identity,

and the emotional landscape of starting over.

Written and performed by Cardiff-based artist Melika Radmand, the

piece unfolds through a series of fragmented episodes where memory

becomes physical and language begins to shift. Stripped back in form

and staging, the work relies on presence, embodiment and silence as

much as words. The performance examines what it means to leave home — not only

geographically, but internally. Moving between departure and arrival, the

central figure navigates the fragile space between languages, cultures

and versions of self. Rather than presenting migration as spectacle, the

piece offers a close, human-scale encounter with its emotional textures.

Minimal in design and intimate in tone, the production invites audiences

into a shared space of vulnerability. It asks: when home no longer exists

as a fixed place, what remains?

Melika Radmand holds an MA in Drama and works across performance

and storytelling, with a focus on embodied narrative and personal

dramaturgy.
