Minnesota-based Somali playwright and performer Ifrah Mansour revisits her childhood memories during the 1991 Somali Civil War to confront violent history with humour and provide a voice for the global refugee stories of children.

How to Have Fun in a Civil War, is a one-act multimedia play, which explores war from an idyllic viewpoint of a seven-year-old Somali refugee girl. The play weaves puppetry, poetry, videos and multiple oral stories taken from community interviews to tell a captivating story about resilience while pushing audience to engage in a healing process that is still raw for survivors of the war.
