Unterstütze CRY FOR ME Cabaret

A dystopian cabaret about migrant labour, created by Andreea Tudose & iulia isar.

CRY FOR ME imagines a not too implausible world in which crying can be outsourced -like everything else we don’t have time for- to a cheap migrant workforce. It’s based on Romanian folk customs of wailing for the dead, and the elderly women that still do it: babele bocitoare (buh-beh-leh bow-chi-twa-reh).

Because the living also need to be mourned.

*** We are currently fundraising to film a CRY FOR ME documentary where -yes, you've guessed it- we go to meet the real life bocitoare (bow-chi-twa-reh) to learn how to wail. We've teamed up with filmmaker Al Johnstone, and have a target of £10,000 to raise towards the first stage of the documentary. If you want to help the CRY FOR ME documentary come into being and have some spare cash, we'd be super grateful. Whether you can buy us a coffee, or a flight, we'll take it all. And, we will, of course, keep you in our cries.***
