This is why organisations like ASSITEJ - the International Association of Theatre for Children and Young People, matter so urgently in a world straining under the weight of borders, both physical and ideological. ASSITEJ exists precisely in that space between Abraham's instinct and ours in the creative sector: the belief that theatre is a birthright, not a privilege bound by geography. It does this while championing the rights enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child - the right of every child to participate in cultural life, to express themselves, to imagine.
