This innovative production is pioneering storytelling in more ways than one. Downloaded from an app and absorbed on a smartphone, it is received over a seven-day stretch and billed as “the world’s first real-time digital documentary”.
Created by Belgian theatre company SKaGeN as part of the Edinburgh festival fringe’s Big in Belgium season, we follow Sajid Khan, a teenager from Afghanistan who is trekking across huge swathes of land in Europe, along the Balkan route, often in the most perilous conditions, in a bid to find harbour.
