About Swarm
After a hit run at Edinburgh Fringe, SWARM returns to VAULT Festival as the ‘Pick of the Pleasance.’ A response to when David Cameron referred to migrants as a “swarm”, SWARM asks: are migrants seeking refuge in the UK really the toxic demographic pervading British society, or is it us?

Ello marks themselves out as a distinctive performer; half clown, half activist” – The Stage Content warning: strong language, distressing themes of racial violence and death.
