What to expect:
A participatory experience in which we'll live the different phases we all go through as foreigners while visiting the different rooms of the beautiful Villa Kultur in the heart of Østerbro.

We'll be guiding you into conversations and curious exercises, taking you through a carefully curated journey. For example, you might get inspired by a story told in dim candlelight, pin a place on a map, or write a love note - all within a theatrical and fun storytelling frame.

This event is both introvert- and extrovert- friendly.

EVENT DESCRIPTION

### "Being a foreigner is easy" - said no one ever!

It's easy to still feel like an outsider even after living in a place for many years.
It's easy to feel lost and confused about an ever-shifting identity.
It's easy to feel disconnected from others who don't quite get you.
It's easy to feel disenchanted after the initial magic of moving to a new place has faded.

If you are a foreigner living in Denmark for a few years, who feels like you don't belong to your country of origin anymore, yet you don't fully fit in the new culture either, this event is for you!

### We invite you to The Foreigner's Journey: an immersive experience exploring the ups and downs of the expat life in Denmark. Join in to play with that uncomfortable in-between feeling and turn it into your superpower.

Through theatrical means, play and guided conversations, you'll be discovering the similarities and differences in your journeys as expats in Denmark. And you'll explore how to navigate your identity in a place that's not quite where you're from, but not entirely foreign either.

Here, you will not be a passive audience member, but an active participant co-creating this experience together with fellow expats.

We will guide you through moments of joy and sorrow, light and darkness, nostalgia and serendipity, as we walk together through the phases of the foreigner's path.

The Foreigner's Journey will help you reframe what it means to live the foreigner's life, rediscovering the joys of not being tied to any particular culture. By the end of the journey, you will feel a renewed sense of enchantment in your unique position as a 'being in between worlds'.
