Around the world the topic of homosexuality remains controversial and divisive. For many, the unrelenting persecution in their homeland leads them to seek refugee in the west. But too often the second stage of their struggle has only just begun...
Based on interviews with gay male asylum seekers and refugees, Hearts Unspoken brings together stories of unimaginable adversity and perseverance. Opinionated, angry, deeply moving and ultimately inspiring these are the tales of those caught out by the cruelties of global and sexual politics.
Told with theatrical energy and imagination, this is a piece of theatre that respects the political looks beyond the bureaucracies of the asylum processes and focuses on the human, personal relationships and interactions.
