En route!
For “En Route” he follows a very unusual path. While you sit in your comfortable theatre seat, the performers are in Nigeria and play the performance there on location, via a live internet connection. The group of Nigerians paints a picture of the future in which African people are on their way to the European continent in large numbers.

What does that vision of an impending exodus say about our view of ourselves, of Europe and our relationship to Africa? Are these people future refugees, or are they also our future nurses, our bed partners, our leaders? Let yourself be taken into a hallucinatory view into the distance
