“Pulsing, heart-wrenching and ultimately hopeful.” – ★★★★ The Stage

Join multi-award winning theatre companies Good Chance and Gecko for the premiere screening of the film of From Here On, a breathtaking new piece of physical theatre all about displacement, movement and being forced to find a new home, performed on Harwich Beach and London’s Liverpool Street.

Featuring 30 local young people from around the world and Gecko’s professional ensemble, From Here On tells the story of nearly a century of displacement and welcome. It marks 85 years since the Kindertransport gave safe passage to nearly 10,000 Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Europe, many of whom arrived by boat in 1939 and 1940 to Harwich, and commemorates this act of welcome from the local community. As well as an artistic remembrance of that history, From Here On also calls for a safer future for all children forced to flee their home today.

This FREE film screening features the full performance intercut between the two locations of Harwich and London, a short film from recently-arrived young people in Dover and a Q&A with the creative team and young cast.
