MEET THE ALIENS

Lara Parmiani - Founder/Artistic Director - founded the LegalAliens Theatre in 2011 to provide a platform for foreign-born and migrant artists to express their unique perspectives. 

Since then the company has collaborated with a variety of artists and theatre-makers, each bringing their original practice and point of view. LegalAliens can rely on a pool of over 20 artists from all over the world.

MIGRANT THEATRE LONDON.jpg

At the core of LegalAliens' vision is a theatre that includes migrants as artists, creatives, participants and audiences and foregrounds creative women, onstage and off. 

Based in Haringey, one of London's most diverse boroughs, our goal is to harness our city's diversity and create theatre that reflects the complex intersection between migrant and international.
 

Our style blends Brecht's socio-political theatre with a captivating visual approach incorporating text, multimedia, and physical theatre. Our shows are imaginative and unafraid to tackle sensitive themes but with irony,
humanity, and great theatricality. 

We have also pioneered a rehearsal-based translation methodology foregrounding the importance of the original language in the English text, resulting in productions of foreign plays that never erase the culture that created them. 
 

Since 2018, we have created a free, safe, weekly space at The Engine Room in Tottenham Hale for migrants and refugees to make theatre together. This project, unique in the U.K., has earned us Theatre of Sanctuary status.

 We are proud to have solidarity and inclusion as our core mission.
