Intime Fremde

Intime Fremde deals with the notion of identity and nation, borders and barriers and the sudden collision of different anatomies. European countries are used to travel and feel at home in all countries. At the same time, the continent controls its borders and closes its own spaces. Borders exist - hidden everywhere. If it is true that we are all biologically equal, it is also the truth that we are all culturally different and have different rights.

On stage are three women living in Germany from three different countries: Italy, Lebanon and Kurdistan. In an alternation of closeness and distance, they build barriers together with the audience and then search for intimacy.

The production was awarded the festival prize Crash Test in 2017.

For being able to touch the uncovered nerves of the social cohabitation of our dark present, questioning this way the role of theatre nowadays, the jury, not without an animated and nevertheless passionate discussion, rewards the piece that more than any other is willing to intercept the language of a possible future: Intime Fremde by Welcome Project.
