Departure Gate 9A

​

Premiere July 2018, at Circle 1 Gallery, Berlin.  

 

Departure Gate 9A revolves around immigration and focuses on the individual experience of leaving one's homeland and starting a life in another country - whatever the reason for this act may be.

​

The performance explores different elements that compose the immigration process such as the moment in which the decision to immigrate occurs; the reasons for immigrating; the physical objects one chooses to take with him/her; dealing with mentality differences and with language limitations and the relationship with one's homeland.

​

By sharing her immigration experiences and through the spectators' participation the performer aims at shedding light and mapping common themes immigrants- of all kinds- are facing along their journey towards creating life in a new place.
