Love Unspoken explores the everyday love that we never quite manage to speak of. Taking you on a sensory journey of jasmine, dance and Indian-influenced rhythms, this is an inclusive performance developed in collaboration with members of Havering Asian Social Welfare Association (HASWA), open for all to enjoy. Audiences are led into a ritualised space: scattered rose petals, scented water, and red earth – the space is evocative of unspoken moments, unspoken but remembered, personal yet universal in meaning, where grief and pain is exposed but life and love are beautifully celebrated.

“Love Unspoken shines a light on the 25,000 people from BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) communities in the UK living with dementia and their carers. People who are not involved in the arts and older people agendas, or health arts and wellbeing programmes” – Arti Prashar, Director, Love Unspoken

Directed and conceived by Arti Prashar, who stepped down as Spare Tyre’s Artistic Director and CEO this year after being with the company for 19 years, Love Unspoken is a Spare Tyre production in association with Queens Theatre Hornchurch and supported by The Mercers’ Charitable Foundation.

“The Garden is an immensely important piece of theatre developed with real thought and care by a company determined to give a voice to the voiceless.” – Douglas Rintoul, Artistic Director, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch
