About
Award-winning and critically acclaimed REWIND was one of The Guardian's 10 best theatre shows of 2024. With rave reviews and tours across 3 continents, this powerful production pieces together a scientific examination of a crime secretly buried.
Inspired by testimonies from Latin American refugees and migrants across generations, the show collides physical theatre with the humanitarian work of Forensic Anthropology to uncover the intimate, backward journey into the life of Alicia — a young woman who dared to resist against authoritarianism.
In a whirlwind of electrifying live music, scorching visuals and raw physicality, Ephemeral Ensemble shines a light on the timeless and universal struggle for social justice.
