about

How does it feel to be at the border of Africa with Europe?

lyrics

"Lejam returned from his travels: first west and north Africa, then south and west Europe. There was a world prior to my journeys, then a world after. He told me this.

The people I have seen, the people whose stories I cannot forget, he said. The people who will die trying to cross over. The young boys encamped behind a hill, possibly in Ceuta, waiting for the right time to make a run for the fence. Day after day, waiting. For some, year after year.
Being driven to the border, Lejam asked the driver to stop close to the foot of the hill. About twenty-five boys encircled him, their number rising like water finding its level.

There are portraits of all the boys. There is also a list with their names, ages, and countries of origin. None of these documents have been shown to the public.

Here is a possible list, with gaps, in place of all the present and future boys of that Ceuta encampment—
ALL VOICES: 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10... 11... 12… 13... 14... 15... 16... 17... 18... 19... 20... 21... 22... 23... 24... 25..."
