There is no empty space on earth

Performance Young FFT Theatre & Performance

How are we supposed to act politically when the boundaries between information and disinformation become more and more permeable? Are we capable of debunking digital deepfakes and alternative truths? Director Ingo Toben, along with a group of young refugees, starts searching for truths that connect rather than separate us. They invite the audience into an arena in which everyone brings their wholly own perspective on what is happening, and the stories told. They are about migration and discrimination, departure, arrival, and political agency.
