Nirbhaya - Described as the most powerful human rights piece of theatre you will ever see.

December 16th, 2012. A young woman and her friend board a bus in New Delhi heading for home. What follows shocks India and the world, and changes the lives of these two people and countless others, forever.

This play is a blistering evocation of that night and the ripples of change it set in motion. One woman’s fate touched so many of our lives - the press named her NIRBHAYA, “Fearless” - and in the wake of her death many of us began to break the silence and speak. In this profoundly moving piece of testimonial theatre, five women now break their own silence by sharing their personal stories with the world.

Internationally acclaimed playwright and director, Yael Farber, has created a searing new work that cracks open the cone of silence around women whose lives have been shattered by gender-based violence. Featuring an extraordinary cast and creative team from India, ‘NIRBHAYA wants to change the world and today is the first step’ (The Mumbai Mirror).

This production offers you a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and its remarkable capacity for survival. An unforgettable work that will move and inspire you in a way that no other piece of theatre might ever have done before. Direct from India, this is a once-off opportunity to see this play in Ireland. It is simply unmissable.
