“The Journey”: Teenage refugees on the stage of the National Theatre

The National Theatre opens its doors to teenage refugees from five different countries (Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan). For the first time, 20 teenagers, 14 refugees and 6 Greeks, aged 14-19 years, present the performance “The Journey” on the stage of the Rex with the help of professional actors. The play emerged from an eight-month long theatre workshop. It is based on images, music and movement, in a language that foreigners and Greeks created together during this period.
