I'm So Here

Story Sharing Universum presents:
I’m So Here – A crazy and diverse performance about identity
18.3. at 6pm Kuva-Portti, Kouvola

In this strange place I ended up in...
do I look the same?
do I feel the same?
do I think the same?
do I act the same?
is this still me?

I´m So Here is a performance whose main theme is identity from the perspective of the newcomer. How have I been received in the society where I moved or fled, and how has it affected me? What do I carry with me, how have I changed in the new culture and who then have I become? The texts of the performance are based on the life stories of the working group.

In this hilarious, touching and eye-opening performance you can for example meet the Bolivian Lord of the Rings-hero, hear stories from an Iraqi classroom, meet the Bollywood teacher, the Pakistani agitator, the buddist monk from Nuuksio, the mouse who grew up to be a woman and experience many other inspiring and unlikely numbers in this heartwarming event.
