Tania Camara’s Oreo draws on different experiences of successfully educated black women in European politics and challenges the idea of whitening the self to achieve success; while asking what it means to be authentic to oneself.
Named after the racial term, this open and interactive show looks at micro-aggressions in higher education and employment, as well as its effects on high profile public figures such as British MP Diane Abbott and Portuguese politician Joacine Katar Moreira.

★★★★ “A tour de force of a performance… Utterly compelling… At times the tension is excruciatingly dramatic… [Tania Camara] is a future star in the making.” – The Grouchy Critic
“Tere is no denying the emotional impact of the powerful message conveyed when Camara washes away the paint and dresses herself in a bright, flowing skirt and blouse… Tania Camara’s performance is mesmeric and captivating… A profound, thought-provoking piece of physical theatre – The Play’s The Thing
“Food for thought.” – Reviewer Number 9
