The first presentation of the show in Poland. The production of an iconic international group NIE Theatre, which is created by artists from the Czech Republic, Norway, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, France, Belgium, Croatia and Mexico. NIE Theatre specialises in stories told in simple means (inspired by the theatre of movement and the puppet tradition) that carry a universal message.

The show "We Come from Far, Far Away" is a subtle story about two Syrians and their journey through Europe. The story of Omar and Abdallah is extremely moving, but it also contains humour and lightness, thanks to which this difficult topic has a chance to reach young people. The performance was created in cooperation with the Norwegian refugee center Hvalstad Transittmottak, which received teenage refugees mainly from Syria and Afghanistan.

We will present the performance in cooperation with BWA Wrocław, Contemporary Art Galleries at the Wrocław Główny Railway Station. An additional context that appears thanks to the presentation of the performance at the station is a reminder of the recent crisis caused by the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, when many refugees found shelter in this building. We hope that the gesture of placing the performance in a place so rich in meaning will convey a deeply humanistic message – opposition to dividing people into better and worse, into those who are worth taking under a common roof and those whom we refuse to help.

An integral part of the performance is the discussion at the end.

Note: The performance is presented in the Session Room (Sala Sesyjna) of the Wrocław Główny Railway Station. Please enter through the main entrance to the Railway Station (ul. Marszałka Piłsudskiego 105) and then through the door on the right, behind the "Minutka" shop.
