Description

A boat at the center of the stage, two actors, and a musician create a theatrical world inspired by Middle Eastern poetry about the journey of displacement and refuge. The performance is based on real testimonies of refugees and migrants, while recorded voices of the people themselves recounting their experiences in their native languages are heard throughout the play. Through storytelling, multilingual soundscapes, and music inspired by their homelands, the work sheds light on the trauma of displacement, the fear of loss, and the persistent human need to hope and carry on. The sea is transformed into a place of anguish and prayer — an in-between space where humanity is constantly tested, yet continues to seek ways to survive through solidarity, memory, and hope.
