The long road to Europe is longer than you think.
Even after reaching safety, many have still not arrived.
Routes and stories of fleeing to Europe are traced following the fate of three women. The major, common theme is that of being uprooted, of persecution, alienation, longing and an attempt at redefinition.
But despite what they have in common, no dialogue emerges: the protagonists remain caught in their own words, unable to bridge the gap to an other. The voices of women are complemented and commented on by the "poster", whose words have been put together from original contributions in on-line forums.
In keeping with the emotionally and legally uncertain, complex situation of the three women, the "reception room" is transformed into a country-neutral, holding and transit space. Actors and audience move alike in this displaced (non-) space.
