Transit at The Cockpit, London
About the show
How do you pack a life into 23 kilograms? One item at a time.
Transit is an award-winning, genre-bending investigation of identity, belonging and migration. Told through a series of vignettes utilising physical theatre, multilingual performance, poetry, dance, multimedia, practical lights and music, Transit delicately navigates the feeling of being ‘too foreign for here, too foreign for home.’
From the endless cycle of unpacking and repacking to wondering when you can stop being considered 'a foreigner' to building community and hope admist uncertainty, this deeply human piece is a love letter to anyone who has ever moved away from home.
Based on true stories gathered from migrants across the UK, Transit asks: what does it mean to settle in the space between languages, cultures and identities?
All performances of Transit are creatively captioned.
