In The Dark Bristol - New Producers

What happens when we reframe the relationship to our body as a life partnership?

Life Partners is an immersive unscripted story that brings this question to life, as Hania Fares recounts the highs and lows of her 32-year relationship to 'Bea'.

The piece is inspired by counselling/psychotherapy techniques that ‘bring to life’ trauma through characterisation, adapted by the producer into a device for documentary storytelling after her own experiences of working with this therapeutic process.

Christina Hardinge is an award-winning audio producer, filmmaker and artist working creatively in the field of documentary.

Her work has won the Charles Parker Prize and been broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
