The Store

2016

The Mediterranean Sea, the Sahara, war, rebels, slavery, smugglers, non-democratic regimes, and Islamists. These are the keywords in most illegal African immigrants’ stories. Those who try to escape from their horrible reality by crossing the Mediterranean, risk their lives seeking a better life. This marginalized group was never important enough to attract significant media coverage for their tragedies. The Store, as a performance, sheds light on this issue like never before.
