Here I Am
Maryhill Integration performing for Refugee Week Scotland 2011

Here I Am by Remzije Sherifi

Sky in darkness,
Rumbling thunder,
Fog and storm,
Waves in the sea.
I am at a crossroads alone
With no solution where to go
My pathways are blocked
The spiral of a tornado threw me
Into lava of an erupting volcano
I feel buried under arctic ice
And my blood and bones are frozen
Earth under my feet is shaking
Everything around me collapsed
I got the news my mother was gone……..

To hear the rest come to the show!

A collaborative process

Here I Am is a collaboration between Maryhill Integration Network and Barrowland Ballet.  Together, using dance, poetry and music we explore the difficulties people seeking asylum and refugees face. Adults and children from Maryhill Integration Network s Music and Theatre Production Project will perform at the Tron Theatre on Saturday 25th June, 8pm in a dance triple-bill with AlbScott and Clan Macondo’s Colours of Life and Ydance’s Knightswood Boys dance group perform Under the Same Sky.
