What happens when we reframe the relationship to our body as a life partnership? 'Life Partners' is an immersive unscripted story that brings this question to life, as Hania Fares recounts the highs and lows of her 33-year relationship to 'Bea'.
The piece is inspired by drama-therapy techniques that ‘bring to life’ adverse experiences by turning them into a character; adapted by the producer into a device for documentary storytelling, after her own personal experience of working with this therapeutic process.
Winner of Third Coast Festival's Best New Artist award 2023.
