waterbody travels across countries in a hold of another,

Carried out to safety while the liquid waves slam inside

Seats taken by other bodies, where to sit

Swollen ankles, if only I could lift them up

Five days the bus points north

Arrive to the terminal, another bus.

This performance asks does becoming relatable to the environment needed to survive bring happiness. How much more do we have to try. Relatability serves one from the two, which one is new?

Including Sophia Mitiku as the reciter of the text in the performance.  Thank you to Andra Sarenius and Ama Kyei.
