Kites

A sincere and compelling solo about the experience of a child on the run. 

Escaped and arrived here. Returning is not an option. What is it like for a child to grow up in a refugee center, in a limbo between past and future, isolated from society. In the dance performance Kites, Roshanak Morrowatian shares her own experiences and those of children with a similar history through memories and flashbacks. She explores the physical traces of her journey ton the Netherlands and the long procedure that followed her arrival. Kites is an expressive interdisciplinary solo where the audience is taken along into the experiences of a child on the run in dance, images, music, and text. 

"What should be a debate about people – about human beings, about children and families – has been deliberately poisoned to become a debate about borders and security."
