What is it like to have to flee your homeland at a young age and grow up in an asylum seekers' centre, in a ‘limbo’ between past and future?

Based on her own life, choreographer Roshanak Morrowatian investigates the physical traces of being on the run and the long procedure after arriving in a new country. Through memories and flashbacks, she shares her own experiences and those of children with a similar past.
Kites is a visual, interdisciplinary solo that takes the audience into the experiences of a child on the run. A hyper-actual dance performance that makes tangible why children must have a voice in the refugee debate.
“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.”
– journalist Behrouz Boochani
