The diary of an immigrant er samtímalegt, staðbundið leikhúsverk sem er skapað með aðferðum spuna- og hópvinnuleikhúss. Sýningin byggir á raunverulegum sögum þátttakenda og kannar stig innflytjendaferilsins og allt það sem skilið er eftir.
Flutningurinn fer fram í almenningsgarði fremur en á hefðbundnu leiksviði og býður áhorfendum að upplifa verkið í návígi, sem eyðir mörkum milli sviðslistar og daglegs lífs. Opna umhverfið endurspeglar hugsjón verkefnisins um að gera leikhús aðgengilegt öllum og leyfa þeim sem eiga leið hjá að staldra við, horfa á og verða hluti af sameiginlegri upplifun.
Með því að blanda saman mörgum tungumálum í sameiginlega leikhúsupplifun sýnir verkið að handan orðanna býr altækt tungumál … tungumál þess að yfirgefa, minnast og byrja upp á nýtt. Í gegnum hreyfingu, dans, tónlist og sjónræna frásögn er áhorfendum boðið að ferðast í gegnum persónulegar minningar og sameiginlega reynslu innflytjenda.
Ljóðið Íþaka eftir Konstantinos Kavafis þjónar sem upphafspunktur ferðar sem spyr hvað það þýðir að eiga heima einhvers staðar, hvernig við berum heiminn með okkur og hvort „Íþaka“ sé staður sem við snúum aftur til eða staður sem við sköpum okkur sjálf.
Sýningin býður áhorfendum að íhuga innflytjendaferlið, ekki sem pólitískt hugtak, heldur sem djúpstæða mannlega reynslu af missi, seiglu, von og umbreytingu.

MiguelCombining a creamy tenor with soul-searching confessionals and cosmic soundscapes, Miguel renders tales of romance and personal transformation with effortless, eclectic style. Since emerging in 2010, the singer-songwriter has oscillated between genres and feelings on his way to becoming a defining voice of modern alternative R&B. It’s a path he began blazing early on. With its blend of electronic, rock, R&B and funk, his debut album, All I Want Is You earned critical acclaim before being certified platinum. Imbued with expressive vocals and subdued cool, his J. Cole-assisted breakout single “All I Want Is You” was a forebear for the sleek, yet emotional sounds that would characterize alt R&B in the 2010s.
Miguel continued indulging his experimental tendencies with his aptly titled sophomore album Kaleidoscope Dream, a shapeshifting fever dream that saw him further refine his genre fusions with bits of imagination and knowing eccentricities. Powered by singles like “Adorn,” “How Many Drinks?,” and “Do You…’ and ‘The Thrill,” the 2013 LP was nominated for a total of 5 Grammy Awards. Written and produced by Miguel, “Adorn” garnered Miguel his first Grammy Award for Best R&B Song and lived at No.1 on the R&B/Hip-Hip Airplay chart for more than 23 weeks, becoming the longest running No. 1 single in the history of the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. The same year, he reunited with Cole on the rapper’s hit single “Power Trip,” which peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Released in 2015, Wildheart only certified Miguel’s consistency, as Pitchfork named it the 8th best album of the year before its lead single, “Coffee,” was nominated for Best R&B Song at the 2016 Grammy Awards.
Miguel reaffirmed his status as a premier R&B auteur with War & Leisure. Propelled by his interstellar Travis Scott-featured lead single, “Sky Walker,” the 2017 album earned critical acclaim and landed at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It also secured his third No. 1 debut on the Billboard R&B Albums chart. More recently, his All I Want Is You single, “Sure Thing,” went viral on TikTok with over 23M creations as it surged to the No. 15 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Released 13 years ago, its resurgence is evidence of a sound that’s at once timeless and futuristic — just like the person who made it.
