EU Immigrants EU Citizens is a project, in three chapters, that aims to raise awareness on and widen the dialogue around the relatively new term ‘EU Immigrants’, through scenography-led interventions devised and produced by Performing Architectures – Andreas Skourtis.

Specially created for We Are Now festival, EU Immigrants EU Citizens, Chapter 2: A Space, is short exploratory headphone performance that invites you to take part in this relevant and important conversation.

Andreas Skourtis is a Greek-born London-based practicing architect and scenographer, and lecturer in scenography and researcher at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

Devised and created by Performing Architectures, this is a walk for exploring a bridge as a scenographic metaphor and sharing thoughts on immigration itineraries.
The performance is a slow walk (duration 40 minutes) on a route that includes Millennium Bridge, a soundscape inspired by the site and devised and created for the specific performance through headphones, a performer-guide and performer ‘passers-by’, a short journey in which thoughts about longer journeys are shared. It was first performed as part of ‘Walking the City Weekend 2016’ – The Culture Capital Exchange (http://www.theculturecapitalexchange.co.uk/)
