As Long As We Are Breathing

Diane Samuels Published by Lemon Soul / ISBN: 9781068572609 As Long As We Are Breathing is a multi-sensory, mixed-media work based on the true story of Miriam Freedman. It tells the story of Miriam’s childhood in hiding in Slovakia during the Holocaust, and follows her later journey to London where, as an adult, she discovered yoga and meditation. Through these practices she began to confront and process the trauma and grief carried from her early life. The work explores memory, survival and the long search for healing. The world premiere took place at Arcola Theatre, Hackney, on 29 January 2025.
