Akinyi and Okech came to Northern Ireland for different reasons. They have a mutual friend Maoliosa who has a mixed community background. Akinyi believes that her mother died in the political turmoil back home. Okech has built a successful business and wants to employ only immigrants. Maoliosa has a lot to say about the last forty years. This new production revolves around the mountains people have to climb to become visible in their new home, a foreign country. It explores some of the new cultural issues that the indigenous people of NOrthern Ireland meet in a growing multicultural society that is emerging from a painful past.
