You are invited to Witham and I, a comic, poetic and unpredictable show, created by Dulce Duca in collaboration with local residents, as part of the Witham Street Entertainment Festival.

A stranger arrives carrying earth and life, seeking connection across vulnerable cultural differences. Through nervous tea ceremonies and playful rituals, she transforms anxiety into intimacy, turning the simple act of planting a plant into a complex venture. What begins as one person’s attempt to reach across the unknown, blossoms into a community band, where circus becomes a vehicle for joy and strangers dancers in a shared story. In the end, invasion becomes an invitation, and the space erupts into collective celebration — a beautiful day is born from the courage to plant something new in foreign ground.

There will be surprise participation from local community artists and a sound installation where we can hear real Witham voices.

The performance takes place at 2.30pm at Lockrams Lane carpark, Witham.

Witham and I is made possible through a commission from Essex Cultural Diversity Project supported by Arts Council England, in partnership with Witham Town Council.
