DEAR BELOVED FRIEND – Dries Verhoeven & Kininso Koncepts

en del af METROPOLIS

Travel to Lagos – and bring home a new worldview.

A film performance directly from Lagos leads us into the arms of the potential refugees of the future – the ones we talk so much about in Europe. But are they really coming?

The Dutch performance artist Dries Verhoeven had to drop the idea of an art work about refugee flows. The Nigerians would rather tell what they really think of us Europeans. And bit by bit, they dissolve our Western worldview.

“Dear Beloved Friend” is a live film about their prejudices about us and our prejudices about them. Dries lets us spy on each other through the camera, and across thousands of kilometres we are suddenly present in the same time and space.
