Rites is a powerful and provocative production exploring the deep-rooted cultural practice of Female Genital Mutilation. This ritual of enforced cutting has been performed for centuries and millions of girls worldwide, often as young as five years old, are still subjected to it. The reasons are complicated and myriad. It depends who you are, and it depends what you’ve been taught. Some things are simple though: FGM is still happening across the world. FGM is happening in the UK, here and now.
