"The Border" is a tragicomic and universal performance about refugees and border guards. Played in a nonverbal, musical universe by an international cast consisting of 2 Danes, a Spaniard and an Italian.

Under foreign skies - in a distant land - at an unspecified time in history, a team of dedicated border guards are trained in the difficult art of keeping unwanted characters out of their land. The best border guard is selected to rule over a border barrier at a remote destination. Power rises immediately to his head and his first act is to expel his comrades. The border barrier is closed down and his former colleagues are now helplessly "trapped" in No Man's land.
