OVERSEAS

immersive film installation, about 60 minutes
original Kiribati version with German, Italian or English subtitles available

Synopsis

During the Covid 19 pandemic, numerous sailors from the Pacific island state of Kiribati were stranded in the port of Hamburg. In an unlikely collaboration, the German-Italian artist duo TÒ SU worked with them to develop the immersive film installation OVERSEAS. In a flooded stage space the audience is immersed in the seafarers’ stories of longing and separation, money and recognition, pride and community, environmental and climate risks. Using documentary-performative means, the artists make inside views of the global movement of goods and its vulnerability visible and tangible. OVERSEAS is the first part of a trilogy about the realities of life and working conditions on the high seas.

With: Itimatang Buaro, Itinnang Yee-On, Kakiaba Kanuto, Katikunteata Mtaroo, Taaiku Kebwati, Tootoa Matita.
