As a director Cara has collaborated with several high-profile creatives, including working with Tim Rice and his creative team to develop and premiere a new version of musical From Here To Eternity in 2018.

Why Khameleon?
Coming from a mixed-race, multi-nationality family (my father is a Sri Lankan Brit and my mother is Italian-American), the complex intersections of race, culture and identity have always fascinated me. Khameleon doesn’t shy away from the complexities that exist within our identities, but rather celebrates them and brings them to light by platforming incredible artists from the global majority. Their approach is both visionary and timely, and being part of a company that truly prioritises diversity in this way is humbling. I’m thrilled to be working alongside them as they blaze an international trail in theatre and film.
