Description
The Luckiest Girl Alive is a piece of puppet theatre based on the extraordinary real-life story of Hoda Ali; the human rights activist, campaigner against FGM (Female Genital Mutilation).
“You save one girl, you save a generation”
The story follows Hoda through her loving childhood in Somalia before the outbreak of Civil War, followed by her epic journey across the globe to heal herself physically and emotionally from dangerous complications of FGM, to arriving in London and within hours meeting the love of her life.
Moments of pain and sadness are balanced by comedy and joy. In a post-show talk with Hoda herself, audiences will learn about the vital work Hoda now does in the fight against FGM in the UK, her co-founding of The Vavengers, and why, after everything that has happened, Hoda counts herself as The Luckiest Girl Alive.
