Event Duration: 120 minutes

‘Journey of Asylum – Waiting’ weaves the lived experiences of asylum seekers, now residing in Melbourne, into a dynamic and poetic performance.

Asylum seekers share their struggles, uncertainties and realisations as people “waiting” in the immigration process.

Experiences of fear, sleeplessness and isolation mix with dignity, resilience and humour and the hope for a “normal life”.

We accept freedom of speech and self-expression as our democratic right; for most asylum seekers this is simply a dream they hope will come true.
