100 CHILDREN

A play about human value, limits and borders.

2013
Kilen, Kulturhuset Stadsteatern
Stockholm
Sweden

In the year 2007 the news report that 100 Chinese children have disappeared in Sweden.

They arrive at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm and are then transfered to the Swedish Migration Board. Thereafter they disappear, two by two or three by three. And so on, until 100 children are gone. The police blame the Migration Board, the Migration Board blames the social services, the social services blame the police. The Swedish Minister of Immigration says the different authorities cooperate closely. But according to a survey 88% of the officials are unaware of the specific rules  that apply when they handle unaccompanied refugee children
