The aim is using the performing arts as a tool to make awareness of the risks of illegal migration to the Arabian peninsula: a sensitive topic, in that area. The experts are Italian women. The youth are local performers, returnees, peasants, unemployed people. The two parts encounter through theatre, dance and music, learning from each other in unexpected ways.
