Terminal 1 is a re-purposed airport celebrating migration, a walk-through situationist artwork disguised as an international terminal.

In a world where the lines drawn on a map by our ancestors continue to define and divide us, Terminal 1 becomes a place without borders, unified by the simple message: no one is illegal. It’s slippery by design, staffed by actors but not quite theatre, playing films but not a cinema, activist but not a protest, and somewhere between a club, a checkpoint, and a provocation. It’s angry. But it serves its politics with a side of slapstick.

I’ve been a core collaborator on Terminal 1 for two consecutive years, bringing my background in immersive theatre, film, and interactive performance to shape its evolving world. My role has included show-directing the immersive walk-through experience, casting and managing 18 performers, developing characters, crafting audience interactions, and devising walkabout sketches woven into the narrative. In 2025, I also wrote and directed a short film featured in Cabin 2, blending poetic imagery with a sharp political message.
