Themes: secrets, guerrilla art, feeling lost
Idili came to Revachol in search of a new chance and perspectives - but is now stuck for years in the immigration procedure. Working their fingers to the bone for the pennies that never seemed to shrink the debt they owed for the the trip and everything connected.
When they finally thought they would be free, they got into a new predicament. They were injured by broken equipment – while Ravi Gessle, mother of two, ended up dead. It took Idili months to recover from their injuries.
Idili is unassuming and often goes unnoticed, but they hear everything and, for those who know them, can sometimes be coaxed to part with their knowledge for a drink or few reáls. Idili used to want to go home but couldn’t bear for their family to see what they have become. Now, they just want to be recognised as a person, something that seems impossible. Will they manage to find a stable income and a place to lay their head at night?
FULL GROUP TEXT
(mandatory for members of the group and Immigration Officers, optional for others - for example various other foreigners)
The immigrant housing occupies one whole wing of La Cage, the more decrepit one, hosting families that are far from home. People love creating distance between one another. Migrants from Graad and Oranje and some undocumented poor souls live here, stuck between horrible jobs in local sweatshops and old dreams. All together, squashed under one roof, the various cultures are clashing and mixing with each other, while everyone is still trying to maintain a sense of belonging. But is it even possible to call La Cage home?
In the darkest of places, people often seek solace in the Innocences. Order of Dolores Dei the Merciful offers a shelter or helping hand to those seeking it, trying their best to cater to the poorest with their charity work. They are apolitical and oppose violence, but their lot is hard and thorny. Most people visit the masses just for the sense of belonging and social aspect, some of the members are true believers, very few are of pure hearts and others just see it as a way to feel better about themselves. Can a real change be made for the people in need, or is it destined to be drowned out by idiots who want to give out pamphlets about Dolores Dei and chess tournaments?
Nearly everybody uses mind altering substances, that is fully normal. However, there is a new team in La Cage: team who can prepare designer drugs, drugs tailored closely for a very specific experience enabling people to go through certain moments again or even create a new, shared experience. They very much hope to help people with that: and of course, make some reáls in the process.
