About the show

Led By The Wind is an intimate audio-visual performance that follows a queer woman tracing a river upstream in search of her forgotten hometown. When she encounters another mysterious woman, the journey shifts, unfolding into a quiet exploration of memory, connection, and return.

Blending moving images, sound, movement and drink-making, it invites audiences into a sensory experience where nostalgia and displacement intertwine. At its heart, the work reflects on how East and Southeast Asian queer women in London navigate identity, community, and belonging across geographies.

‘Her work is characterised by memorable visual metaphors, heavy with nostalgia.’ – The Play’s The Thing UK

About the company

Founded in 2022, Ensemble Not Found (ENF) is a London-based theatre collective of five interdisciplinary, first-generation ESEA migrant artists. Our work is ensemble-led, visually driven, and made through a non-hierarchical process of research, improvisation, and iteration. Across our practice, we’re interested in how private feeling becomes public structure, how bodies, language, images, and institutions shape one another—working with movement, text, sound, audiovisuals, and found materials as we search for the right form and voice.

About the show

On the eve of her best friend's funeral, a police officer comes face to face with a charming stranger who introduces herself as Death. And like her, she has questions begging for answers.

There Is Rice At Home is a riveting story of friendship, grief, and love.

The cast is led by award-winning Bola Stephen-Atetebi, whose critically acclaimed work includes Esther's Revenge and Reminiscing with Adunni Alaalo. She is joined by Abiola Akindele who brings her essence to the character after a successful run at the Women’s Writers Festival, London.
There Is Rice At Home returns to England after three successful shows, including closing The Alliance Française Accra Performing Arts Festival in Ghana.

What if Death showed up at the funeral, and had receipts?

There Is Rice At Home is coming to FUSEInternational in Kingston, and it's not like anything else on the programme.
Inspired by real personal losses, this play questions normative expressions of grief, and the pretences that complicate our relationship with friendship and loss.

Come and see the award-winning Bola Stephen-Atetebi and Abiola Akindele tell a story for the books.
