Filipina domestic workers, violent insecurity, testimonial theatre and transnational ambivalence

From conventional social scientific interview material, we have developed a testimonial play that focuses on the intimate violence of a state‐regulated temporary worker programme in C anada. Taking the play to the P hilippines has raised questions about the contextuality of interpretation. How easily do our scholarly narratives travel between global north and south? How might we use our research to stage nuanced transnational conversations about issues that are experienced differently in different places?
