“A man who has been through bitter experiences and travelled far enjoys even his sufferings after a time” ― Homer, The Odyssey
AMIN SENATORZADE HAD DEPARTED FROM AFGHANISTAN. WITH HELP FROM GOOD FRIENDS, HUMAN SLUMUGLERS, STEEL WILL AND A LITTLE BIT OF LUCK. AFTER A 6 MONTHS LONG JOURNEY OVER LAND AND SEA HE FOUND HIMSELF IN OSLOS´ CENTRAL STATION ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE.
AMIN WISHED TO STAY, HE WISHED TO LIVE, NOT JUST SURVIVE. NON THE LES, SOME YEARS LATER, HE WAS DEPORTED BACK TO KABUL. THIS IS WHEN THE SECOND JOURNEY BEGAN. THIS TIME A JOURNEY WITH A GOUL. A JOURNEY BACK TO A COUNTRY IN THE NORTH.
"DIT DU KOM FRA" IS AN ODDESY FROM REALITY. IT IS A PERFORMANCE ABOUT BECOMING WHO YOU ARE THROUGH WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE. WE FOLLOW THE JOURNEY OF ONE REFUGEE. A STORY THAT INTEMETLY SHOWS THE SMALL MOMENTS ON A JOURNEY THOUGHSENDS OF PEOLE ARE TAKING YEARLY. RISKING THEIR LIFE IN HOPE OF A FUTURE. AMIN SENATORZADES´ EXPIRENCES ARE MADE INTO A DEVISED THEATRE PICE IN COLLABORATION WITH THREE PERFORMERS FROM NORWAY AND FRANCE. THIS PERFOMANCE WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUGHT AMIN GENERESLY SHARING HIS INCREDIBLE STORY WITH ØYTEATERET. ØYTEATERET HAS SHARED THIS PERFORMANCE WITH HUNDREDS OF TEENAGERS IN THE OSLO EREA.
