I AM – A Walking Universe

A powerful exploration of UK medical racism told with wearable technology.

From the creator of Most Memorable Show (Lustrum Award Winner, 2023). Part of the modular series I AM.

Enter the studio of LULA.XYZ, where words come to life. As she attempts to pen the next chapter to her namesake character, the girl next door who just happens to be Eritrean/Ethiopian, life intervenes. It’s the black woman curse. A poetic reflection of overt medical racism happening now in the UK, using wearable technology MiMu gloves (as used by Imogen Heap).

Neither a musical, nor drama: a new kind of storytelling.
