About the performance
Imagine this: everything around you disappears. The place that once felt like home is gone. What remains?
In 2018, Rotterdam-based poet Moze Naél travels to Lesbos, where he visits the refugee camps of Moria and Kara Tepe. At the time, some thirty thousand people are seeking refuge on the island. The camps have room for just eight thousand. The rest sleep under olive trees, outside the fences of Moria.
A year later, the camp burns to the ground. Kara Tepe closes soon after.
In 2020, Moze returns. There, he meets Hami Roshan, a Berlin-based photographer and documentary maker.
From their meeting emerges Dicht bij zee, ver van huis - an audiovisual performance about people. About loss. And about resilience.
“And we drank beer, bitter... so that life might taste sweet later.”
