Foreign Body

"Foreign Body" starts from the personal and family histories of the production's creative team, histories bound up with identity, migration and war. The artists involved share personal experiences, document the life stories of their relatives and investigate the mechanisms that produce the experience of being a "foreign body". Depending on context, each life story has its own particularities and challenges us to keep rethinking identity and the condition of the "foreigner". The production sets out to sustain a discourse of solidarity and empathy around migration and refuge, and a critical analysis of the socio-economic structures that drive the scale of migration and the construction of the "foreigner", in the present geopolitical context and in the historical one.
