On the Journey (2017)
With the means of table puppetry On the Journey (Matkalla kotiin) tells the story of Iraqi refugees, arriving in Finland. It was at first only performed in private homes and living rooms, to secure the safety of the performers, but the next year it was also performed in high schools. The performance was unusually well and impressively received by the young audiences. We managed to break attitudes and boundaries and open discussion between refugees and the Finnish people.
