Diary of an Expat
DIARY OF AN EXPAT is a semi autobiographic comedy directed by Katharina Reinthaller (Labels, Fringe First Winner 2015) about an immigrant’s journey towards full Britishness while a funny little thing called Brexit threatens the European dream of life abroad. Faced with the possibility of having to leave her home of ten years, Cecilia Gragnani is sharing her personal experience and testimonials of others to ask: what does it feel like to be an expat? A comic story of the encounter between a modern migrant and London – a contemporary El Dorado craved by generations of young Europeans – Diary of an Expat looks at the road to becoming a British citizen, embracing a new nationality whilst staying true to your roots, and the knocks your identity takes when no country claims you as their own. From amusing miscommunications to bewildering legal technicalities, Cecilia delves into the day-to-day of living in a country that can’t pronounce your surname.
