Dear beloved friend,

De groep Nigerianen schetst een toekomstbeeld waarin Afrikaanse mensen in groten getale onderweg zijn naar het Europese continent. Wat zegt dat visioen van een aankomende exodus over onze blik op onszelf, op Europa en onze relatie tot Afrika? Zijn deze mensen toekomstige vluchtelingen, of zijn het ook onze toekomstige ziekenverzorgers, onze bedpartners, onze leiders? Laat u meenemen in een hallucinerende blik in de verte.

They will come, they will have no choice, they will come in their tens of thousands, in their millions.
 
With a sense of growing unease, Dries Verhoeven read about a future African refugee influx and the continent's expected birth explosion. “Where will this enormous group of people go in the predicted post-apocalyptic world?”
 
Verhoeven went to do his research and flew to the Nigerian city of Lagos, which is rapidly becoming the world’s largest city in an already densely populated country. As the problems pile up, he discovered a people bursting with energy and utopian thinking. Clearly, the apocalypse is not in fashion there. It’s hard to imagine a starker contrast with European fears. Are Nigerians fantasising against their better judgement? Or are we in Europe too fixated on the past?

Dear beloved friend, is a live film performance. Straight from Nollywood, the heart of the African film industry, Kininso Koncepts' incandescent performers enact our European nightmares. Via a live internet connection they address us in our comfortable theatre seats. Provocative, disruptive, and inescapable, like the future itself.
