Metro Diaries invites audiences to step into a world where movement and poetry intertwine, reflecting the rhythm of daily metro rides.
Through evocative performances that blend spoken word, dance, and live soundscapes, the experience unfolds in vignettes that capture fleeting connections, moments of solitude, and the universal search for belonging. Designed fluidly by mirroring the spontaneity of real metro journeys—passengers board, interact, and part ways, each carrying a story. Some encounters are lighthearted, filled with warmth and curiosity, while others reveal the deeper struggles and resilience of migrant communities. At its core, Metro Diaries is a meditation on loss, hope, and grounding—three universal threads that bind all travelers together, whether on a train or through life.
Beyond the stage, Metro Diaries extends into the community through a series of free workshops. These sessions invite participants to share their own narratives, exploring the power of theatre as a means of connection and cultural expression.
