Samenvatting:

Two brothers, long estranged, reunite at a ceremony to honour their lost sibling's life. As they seek to let go, they must confront the past whilst rediscovering the joy that binds them together.

A powerful fusion of movement, song and text, Now, I See is an exploration of identity, forgiveness and nature's capacity to heal. It celebrates the profound bond of brotherhood and the resilience that can be found in joy.

Now, I See is the second instalment in Lanre Malaolu's groundbreaking trilogy that excavates and celebrates the reality of being a Black man in contemporary Britain. It was premiered at Stratford East, London, in 2024, directed by Malaolu.

The first play in the trilogy, Samskara, was premiered at The Yard Theatre, London, and was widely acclaimed.
