Arcola Theatre, London
Dijana is a victim of crime, a victim of gross inhumanity. But she is not a victim in herself. She has survived. Shis is broken, maybe to the point of irrepair, but she keeps going, she finds coping mechanisms, lies to herself, yes - but is still telling her own story, still trying to work out the world she finds herself in, still battling.
Performed by Hara Yannas and Madeline Appiah, the audience discover what captivity can do to you, the particular effects it has on women, their coping mechanisms and the kind of relationships they form.
It felt empty when the heart went at first bit it is alright now ran from 7th - 31st October in Arcola Theatre in 2009.
