MOVED FROM US: combines theatre with cinema and visual arts.
The viewer is taken on a sensory journey, becoming part of the story of Mbaye, a Senegalese man who boards a boat carrying illegal migrants bound for Europe.
Throughout the journey, Mbaye recalls certain key moments and characters from his childhood. His inner monologue is interspersed with interviews and short interventions filmed in Europe, Africa, South America and Asia.
Mbaye's journey is the journey of hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war, poverty and hunger. Even tomorrow, the carousel of history could uproot you too, forcing you to flee, to leave everything behind.
In this maelstrom of displacement, of migration, an occult dimension seems to govern our destinies, whether we call it voodoo in Africa, or charms/spells in rural Romania.
