Description ''We, The Outsiders' is a thought-provoking theatrical experience that sheds light on the diverse challenges migrants face in New Zealand — from trying to fit in and learning new languages to adapting to entirely new cultures. We spoke to 30 immigrants in New Zealand with English as a second language in order to create this documentary theatre show. It explores identity, belonging, and integration through a collection of interviews, testimonies, and dramatised retellings.'
