"The Trial of Jemmy Button" is an enthralling verbatim play that delves into the captivating story of Jemmy Button, Charles Darwin, Captain FitzRoy, and the remarkable journey of the Beagle. Directed by Luis Gayol, this thought-provoking production brings to life the events that unfolded in 1830 when a young aboriginal from Tierra del Fuego was forcefully taken to England. In exchange for a large pearl button, he was renamed Jemmy Button and spared from the inhumane fate of being exhibited in a human zoo. Instead, he was sent to school to absorb English culture and the teachings of Christianity. Eventually, Jemmy was returned to his homeland aboard the historic voyage of the Beagle, alongside Charles Darwin, with the aim of spreading "civilization" among his people. This extraordinary play was conceived in Buenos Aires as a profound exploration of the collision between national identities and the far-reaching consequences that ensue. "The Trial of Jemmy Button" will be showcased at The Calder Bookshop & Theatre in London from February 14th to March 9th, 2024. Immerse yourself in this captivating narrative that unveils the complexities of dominance and resistance emerging from such collisions. Tickets for this unmissable performance are available for £15.
