Join us in 2 events when we explore the theme “immigration” in a theatrical setup!
- You will get to talk about your personal experiences and hear from others.
- We will also try out some of the scenarios on stage.
We think it’s a great way to exchange perspectives and get creative together. Wouldn’t you agree? These exchanges will also become inspirations for our theater play “Alien by Choice”.
We will also have a special guest who will help moderate our conversations.
