Rinkoo Barpaga & Deaf Explorer presents

Rinkoo Barpaga

Made in (India) Britain

Wed 10 May, 2023 Archive
Roo is a deaf Punjabi boy from Birmingham, living in a world that wasn't made for him.

Through pain and laughter, Roo narrates the impact of ableism and racism throughout his childhood and adult life, leading him to confront one key question: “Where do I belong?”

A coming of age story about discovering your community and the journey that follows. Come and be immersed in Roo’s world as he navigates across borders and grapples with his sense of identity.

WINNER of Mervyn Stutter’s Spirit of the Fringe Awards 2022
