Description

Nomad is a funny and heartfelt physical theatre performance centred in the experiences of Ayse, a Turkish female immigrant in Europe. A biographical theatre piece based on Gözde Atalay’s own journey as an immigrant in Europe. This performance is inspired by migrants' lived experience of paperwork, clerks and survival in a foreign country (finding work, learning a language...). Whether work, marriage or refuge is the reason for migration, the period of waiting administrative limbo – which can last years – the bureaucratic encounters that become the shared experience of all migrants.
