"Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long ways from home"
- Negro spiritual

COMMISSIONED BY THE THÉÂTRE DE LA VILLE, 2018-2019 SEASON

The first born of the 21st century have come of age.

Marcus Borja creates a platform for this new generation to enquire into the role of art in tomorrow’s Europe.

Stemming from different cultures, around forty young performers between the ages of 18 and 21 express through dance, music and theater, their desires, beliefs and convictions about the world of tomorrow.

Far from being satisfied with a monochrome artistic vision, a single language, a single voice, they will create a multilingual, multi-ethnic, multicolored portrait of a continent rich in its plurality and differences.
