Sam Baumal joins the company of new musical Bordello for the London workshop.
Bordello was first conceived in 2015 in the US, and will receive two public workshop performances at the Royal Academy of Dance, London, taking place on Thursday 20 and Friday 21 March.
Written by Barbara Bellman and directed and choreographed by Racky Plews, Bordello is inspired by historical events surrounding Raquel Liberman, Bordello is the immigrant story of one heroic Polish woman who is forced into prostitution and risks everything to bring an international Jewish sex-trafficking ring to justice. With a musical palette that includes tango and klezmer, this never-been-told-before tale of love and bravery is set in the colourful world of Buenos Aires in 1920.
The performances are presented in partnership with Hope for Justice, a charity fighting human trafficking and modern slavery.
