Episode 176: OommoO - Lula Mebrahtu

Persistent and Nasty

Elaine and Louise chat with Lula Mebrahtu or Lula.XYZ about her exciting new show OommoO which is on @Summerhall in the Red lecture Theatre @4.15pm until the 27th August 2023. We chat the creation of the show, telling stories with the beat of life, loss and so much more. It’s another wonderful episode with another wonderful guest. https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/oommoo Oommoo Real-life events of a first-generation immigrant navigating the duality of two cultures, Habesha (Eritrean/Ethiopian) heritage and British identity. It looks at the effects of memory loss on a displaced community. When you've left everything behind for the promise of something "better", and it's not better… When you have nothing but memories and memory is fading… What do you have? Interviewing language, customs and music with wearable tech MiMu gloves, it's a poetic reflection of an emotionally visceral experience unpacked through an Afro-Futuristic East-African lens. Neither a musical, drama or gig theatre... It's a new kind of storytelling. https://www.lulamebrahtu.com/ OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.uk Persistent Pal & Nasty Hero - Pals and Hero Membership Support In The Room - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/in-the-room Email – [e-mail] Instagram - @persistentandnasty Twitter - @PersistentNasty Coffee Morning Eventbrite - Coffee Morning Tickets LINKTREE - LINKTR.EE Resources Samaritans - Rape Crisis Scotland - Rape Crisis UK ArtsMinds - BAPAM Freelancers Make Theatre Work Stonewall UK - Trevor Project - Mermaids UK Switchboard LGBT+ - GATE PLANNED PARENTHOOD DONATE - DONATE ABORTION SUPPORT NETWORK UK - ASN.COM- DONATE WeAudition offer: For 25% off your monthly subscription quote: NASTY25 Backstage Offers: Get a free 12 months Actor Subscription: https://join.backstage.com/persistentnasty-uk-12m-free/
