IN DEVELOPMENT
This show aims to push back and tackle misinformation and misconceptions about refugees and asylum seekers, while highlighting the fact that everyone deserves a safe place to live, access to health care, food, and water.
This story will also draw on the increasing threat of climate change, specifically here in Mi’kma’ki / Atlantic Canada, and will challenge audiences to ask themselves - what does it mean to be a refugee?
What does it mean to seek asylum?
Combining first-hand testimony from survivors in Holland, and Toronto, as well as over five years of research, this show uses the 2016 gay purge of people in Chechnya as a starting place to reflect the current global rise of anti-Queer and anti-Trans rhetoric. Through text, movement, and music, we follow four characters who face the impacts of forced displacement, generational colonization, and ong0ing war.
