Against The Odds – Oxford Youth Dance Company
“On the island of Chios ,thousands of refugees wait for their official papers before boarding the ship to Athens .They live in makeshifts camps in the old castle on the harbour and at the centre of the island. What are their stories ? Can they retain a sense of beauty ? A sense of self and identity? ”
