In spring 2017 a group of performers (Palestinian and Norwegian) travels from Occupied Palestinian Territories (West Bank) via Occupied Golan Heights (Syria) to the Lebanese border in the North. The performers want to perform a dance for a Lebanese audience. The Lebanese audience travel from Beirut, towards the Israeli border in the south, aiming to watch the dance. The video is a documentation of an attempt to intervene the borders that today constitute this very landscape. From Ramallah to Beirut.
If the groups were to reach the north and south border, it seemed unlikely that it would be possible for the groups to stay very long at any possible location. In order to enable the audience to enjoy the performance in full, the chosen strategy was to try to execute sections of the performance at different locations moving West along the border, from Fatima gate in southern Lebanon through to the sea border (Ras Al Naqoura/ Rosh Hanikra).
