Borders


Event details

30 May 2026 until 30 May 2026

As shocking and moving as it is amusing, Borders is an urgent and satirical attack on both the celebrity culture and the inertia (or indifference) of the West towards any humanitarian crisis occurring elsewhere in the world, which we witness daily through television.
Narrated through two young artists, Borders is the story of a young and idealistic Western news photographer who, after capturing the first and exceptional image of Bin Laden, is catapulted to fame and journalistic stardom following the September 11 attacks. Meanwhile, it also tells the story of an anonymous Syrian teenage graffiti artist who is forced to flee her country after fighting to the last consequences and with enormous integrity for a regime change and a better future for her country.
Told through the monologues of both characters that intertwine again and again until they meet in a heart-wrenching climax, Borders addresses idealism, personal and professional ethics, the interaction between the West and the East, the conflict in Syria, and the migration crisis with an exceptional combination of realism, audacity, poetry, humor, and a sense of spectacle.
Borders is a fast-paced, straightforward play, a huge and epic story, pure and captivating, with just two characters, that will leave the audience nailed to their seats and with a pierced heart.
