Parasites

Two teenagers fleeing unthinkable dangers find solace in each other amidst the unrelentingly damaging confines of an asylum seeker processing centre

Their new 'home' offers a kind of safety, but very little in the way of humanity, and less kindness

Ninna Tersman's writing is poetic, spare, and deeply human

She plays with theatrical form in many ways

The two actors in Parasites play the teenagers and a number of adults who impact their lives

This is the tender story of young people in a desperate situation, yearning for hope and home
