Multi-award winning theatre companies Good Chance and Gecko’s groundbreaking performance with over 200 young people in public spaces in the UK and Europe, all about children’s right to safety, whoever they are, wherever they are from.

From Here On marks the 85th anniversary of the Kindertransport, when nearly 10,000 Jewish children were given safe passage to the UK from Nazi-occupied Europe. It is an artistic remembrance of that history, as well as an urgent call for empathy and action for displaced young people in the present.

At train stations, harbours and beaches in London, Harwich, Dover, The Hague and Berlin, our international companies of young people and members of the Gecko ensemble presented the world premieres of new pieces of breathtaking physical theatre telling the story of 85 years of displacement and welcome.

Malachy operated cameras for Tea Film’s capture of the live performances, and he filmed and edited a response film of the performance featuring professional Gecko performers and a collective of young people based in Dover, Folkestone and beyond. The young people are all newly arrived to the UK and are currently seeking asylum, supported by Kent Refugee Action Network.
