On the 13th of July 18, kids from the refugee home ‘House Liebhartstal’ joined the ‘In my dreams I feel free’ rehearsal to play, improvise, share stories and lunch together with the performers.
Jaskaran, a young dancer from the group shared his thoughts and impressions with us:
“The children have amazing amount of energy. They are innocent and incredible in their own way (…) There happened to be a conversation of how long they have been in Vienna (…) one of the girls mentioned that they might have a passport soon and the other girl in the group reacted so surprised and sad at the same time, seeming that they have been told this is the major thing in their world at the moment and it decided their future. It was moment of concern for me that the politics has such an influence on human that they compare their freedom with the status of their passport. I can understand them as well, due to the fact that I hold an Indian passport in the European Union(…)
There is a lot of trust and friendship amongst the children, they don’t see others as different country people rather a community of children in the same situation (…) What is the aim for them? A girl answered PEACE. And what is peace for her? It is when she, her family and friends and every human can have their own right. It touched me as they understand the freedom or being accepted the way they are is a basic necessity for being in peace.”
