What brings us together on this journey? Why are we making it together?
“Intercultural longbook”, which is what this experience is called, seeks to bring together people who come from different places and realities, that sometimes seem distant… but here we discover that they are not.
We have created a community, a space where what seemed to separate us has become a bridge that connects us. Some have lived in countries I’ve never set foot on; others see the world from a body that functions differently to mine. And it is here that I have learned to appreciate the beauty of our differences.
This is not just a play; it’s a representation of who we are when we leave behind the fear of what is different, when we embrace the unknown and discover that, in the end, we all share the same longing: to be seen, to be heard, to be understood.
This group is full of people who show that diversity not only enriches, but transforms. It transforms us as individuals and as a society. Because in every step, in every gesture, in every word, we are weaving something bigger. Because every voice that resonates here carries the strength of a thousand stories and experiences.
In the end, what we leave on this stage are not just words or gestures, it is also a piece of ourselves.
This is what we are,
