"my god
is not waiting inside a church
or sitiing above the temple's steps
my god
is the refugee's breath as she's running
is living in the starving child's belly
is the heartbeat of the protest
my god
does not rest between pages
written by holy men
my god
lives between the sweaty thighs
of women's bodies sold for money
was last seen washing the homeless man's feet
my god
is not as unreachable as
they'd like you to think
my god is beating inside us infinitely"

I would like this play to change people's perspectives in refugees being bad people. By picturing what it may be like fleeing a country people may feel remorse and might act more on the topic.

I have chosen one of Rupi's pieces about immigration and what it is like to flee your country. The story is set in a 2nd person perspective, and describes what refugees may be thinking during their time on the boats, travelling to a safer country, and whether people will accept them

I want to capture Rupi's poetry in a performing art's piece that correctly describes what it's like to live as a refugee. Being apart of showing people how traumatic running away from your home land really is. I will achieve this by incorporating the elements of drama into Rupi's work.

"what if we get to their doors
and they slam them shut i ask
what are doors she says
When we've escaped the belly of the beast"

"Leaving her country
was not easy for my mother
i still catch her searching for it
in foreign films
and the international food isle"
Pg 123
