Performance synopsis
Touching on the topic of the refugee crisis, the artists ask: why haven't we learned yet to bring in Others into our world? The problem of Others entering foreign societies resonates throughout history and is invariably current. ‘The Entrance’ explores the question of this timely issue, engaging artists from Poland, Turkey and Germany, and thus showing views on the same subject from three different perspectives – different social, economic, political and cultural contexts.
