Live Audio Description

Intense, potent and contemporary street theatre which prances over frontiers and upon our humanity.

Eight characters lost in the city, each carrying their own suitcase. Passers-by or immigrants?
Naïve and curious, their emotions are barely contained, they know nothing about our norms, our rules and our way of life. The game they play is so subtle it could be mistaken for reality. It is precisely there where a space for dialogue opens, where the spectator becomes an active part of the exchange and the experimentation.
Kamchàtka eventually turns into a mirror; a mirror of our behavior towards the Other, the Foreign, the Different. Shall we build our future with the Kamchàtka members or should we reject them?
