Inspiring puppetry-led theatre for young people 7 plus.
Synopsis
Asmin, a newly-arrived Turkish refugee is struggling with remote learning in the time of Covid when she meets Victorian-era mathematician Ada Lovelace. Together, connected across timeframes. they find commonality in numbers and philosophies, and in this imaged place we explore how far we have come in education rights for girls, how far we have to go, and the world-altering shifts that occur when we empower girls to reach their full potential.
Made in collaboration with maths teacher, and Turkish refugee, Bilge Aslan, the story combines the real-life experiences of girls worldwide who have been denied an education with the story of Ada Lovelace and her world-altering inventions told through the beautiful magical realism for which Lemony S Puppet Theatre are renowned.
