Sunlighting is a musical about an unusual individual, an illegal immigrant from Africa. But it is also much more than that. The show contains a number of characters, illegal immigrants from all over the world and thus the message of the show becomes much broader: Sunlighting is about human rights and social exclusion, about (in-)tolerance towards anything different, about the loneliness of an individual in our society of excess and greed. The immigrants have come to Europe with only what they were wearing to work here literally day and night for a few pennies a day. They’re hoping to save themselves and their families of poverty and for this they are willing to sacrifice even their own dignity.
