Edinburgh International Festival: As Far As Impossible
30b Grindlay St, Edinburgh, EH3 9AX
Description
What drives someone to risk their life to help others? As Far As Impossible reveals the world through the eyes of people involved in humanitarian work.
As the son of a doctor and a journalist, director Tiago Rodrigues has often wondered why he chose to tell stories about the world rather than attempt to save it in a concrete way. Rodrigues is a virtuoso in the art of blending personal stories with wider history. Inspired by their testimonies, he met staff from the International Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders to create this work.
