Be proud. Be who you are. Be more penguin.

I am Hamzeh. This is the story of my life (so far). People have many questions. The answer is: “Yes. I can do anything.”

Full of humour and beauty, Hamzeh Al Hussien’s extraordinary story takes you on a personal tour of the places he knows best: his village in the Syrian mountains, Za’atari refugee camp in Jordan, his home in Gateshead, and inside his mind; a place full of music, dancing, fantasies and marbles. Hamzeh invites you to be his childhood friends, to hold the moon to light the way into his dreams, brushing the dust from his clothes… and taking to the stage.
