Jo Strømgren: The door separates Here and Elsewhere.
There is a very strong belief that there will always be something better on the other side. This faith makes people move. Somewhere in Europe, in a land divided by borders, languages, religions and geographical barriers, there has always been a migration phenomenon. It is a way to survive and a way to resist, the opportunity to start life again, as well as to burn bridges, to leave everything behind.
The Door, through movement and dance, travels through different historical periods and regions to see the patterns that exist, the causes of migration, and how it changes in different nations.
