The genocide in Rwanda shocked the world. Back then, Ery Nzaramba was only a teenager and his family's escape to Europe turned him into a "survivor". How should he now respond to questions about who he is and where he comes from?In this autobiographical one-man play, performed to acclaim on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the author journeys back to his Rwandan childhood. With the help of a cassette player, he brings to life nearly a dozen characters, exploring memories of kinship, cultural attitudes and personal identity. Both funny and poignant, the play highlights not only the intolerance that can breed violence and war but also the importance of power and privilege in the struggle for survival.This is a twin edition - one version in English and another in French to reach readers in both languages.

But it is also extremely funny..." - www.wordswithjam.co.uk; "Hilarious, harrowing and acutely moving... [An] essential, coruscating work" - **** The Stage; Split/Mixed is a deeply moving production written and performed by Ery Nzaramba in lyrical language; full of honesty, humour and humanity. It all began with a question: "Where are you from?" - The Mancunion.
