Dublin
2025 | HKB | ACT Valais
Our performance talks about the trauma inflicted by the Dublin Regulation on refugees—its bureaucratic burden, its displacement, its denial of choice.
At around 11:00, we begin our journey from Sion, walking toward Château Mercier in Sierre. This 3.5-hour walk is a symbol of the long, exhausting paths that refugees are forced to take in search of safety and dignity.
At 14:35, we arrive at Château Mercier, where the second part of our performance unfolds. In a performative dialogue between ourselves and the European flags, we confront the paradoxes of the Dublin Regulation—the contradictions of a system that claims to offer refuge yet entraps those who seek it. Through movement we expose the fractures within this policy and the human cost it demands.
