A new play opening in Cardiff is designed to give audience members a taste of the experiences faced by refugees. The production, titled 'Swarm', will be staged at the Butetown History and Arts Centre.
Upon arrival, attendees will enter a 'transit zone' established at the venue. The immersive experience will see audience members follow a group of actors and a wider cast drawn from the local community as they seek sanctuary.
Christina Dembenezi, one of the core cast members, told BBC Wales arts and media correspondent Huw Thomas that the aim of the play is to get people talking about the issue of refugee experiences.
