The Spectator’s Journey (Åskådarens resa)

The Spectator’s Journey is a musical and interactive performance about migration, love and civil courage.
What happens if I tell my story? If I let you into my memories. If we open up and meet for a while. If we find, in the simple, common and unassuming, a willingness to exchange thoughts, listen and share – does that make us braver?
Can our different life stories create a common foundation, new relationships and mutual understanding?
Singer and multi-instrumentalist Yahia Najem provides a musical framework for this journey guided by Suzanna and Zeljko Santrac’s narration.
In an intimate context, the relationship with the audience is examined based on an attempt to bridge distances and reduce gaps.
