While they are floating

Stockholm; March 2020

Refugees are often presented as masses of people who come in large groups. But for every asylum seeker, there is a personal journey full of own experiences, choices, understandings, memories and longings. Even though the journey is done in the company of others, you are also very alone - with responsibility for yourself and your own history. The dancers embody stories of refugees and try to discover universal memories.With empathy and physical, heavy, large, demanding movements, the dancers try to create a common meeting point so that we can coexist.
