A man and a woman sit on the stage. There are many plastic tulips stuck in the floor. In the background is written "So much gel has been applied to them that it feels as if the skin has been flayed off".

Journalist Said Reza Adib and theater maker Thomas Bellinck develop this theater evening based on their joint research on border regimes. In it, performers Musia Mwankumi and Jeroen Van der Ven zoom from the tiny grooves of their own fingertips into the wider world. A world where skin patterns unlock laptops; and where fingers are commandeered by governments as measuring instruments - to determine who is welcome where.

A coproduction with SPIELART Theaterfestival München.
