Ephemeral Ensemble are a global majority led physical theatre ensemble. They make work driven by a theme or a question, which inspires them to find fact-based stories that shine a light on current hidden social issues. Collaboration between the artistic team, the community and professionals in other fields is vital to their process. Their work is political, visually striking, highly dynamic, thought provoking and moving at heart. They don’t lean on text to communicate with an audience. They combine the high physicality of the performers, original music and playful interaction with the stagecraft to create a narrative.Alison Ribeiro De Menezes is a professor of Hispanic Studies. She has developed numerous projects in South America, Spain and Portugal about memory in relation to arts, culture, the disappeared, legacies of war and dictatorship. She has explored and captured the history of WUS/Warwick’s role in helping Chilean exiles in the UK during the 70’s. She worked in collaboration with the Museum of memory and Human Rights in Chile, gathering exile documentary materials in the UK. The project was featured on the BBC’s One Show in early 2018.Alison is a regular collaborator of Ephemeral Ensemble.
