A theatrical collage of escape and exile

The soundscapes of the city whittle away as we are drawn to a wooden box roaming around. The journey was long, lasting days, through unknown lands. It searches for a place to arrive. Speechless, they emerge. Where are they? Exile is the name of their destination. Asylum is their hope. They tell tales from their escape and arrival, teams and fears and how they start their lives anew.

For this project, TheatreFragile met with refugees and support to gather and collect their thoughts, experiences, inner struggles and stories in order to provide an insightful and unexpected image away from heated and alienating debate.
