This powerful, high-impact dance-theatre experience draws you into South Africa’s compelling stories of journeying in search of belonging, opportunity and survival. Through striking physical storytelling, music and drama, it traces journeys from early migration to forced removals and exile. It culminates in the realities of today’s refugees and asylum seekers – many still fleeing danger, crossing borders, and forced into hiding – inviting audiences to recognise migration as a shared human experience woven deeply into our country’s past and present.
