A PLACE CALLED HOME is a dance production that explores the idea of “home” and its political, social and emotional facets in terms of choreography and content. Among a team of performers and an audio describer who share the experience of migration, A PLACE CALLED HOME deals with individual, migrant perspectives and worlds of experience: with the losses experienced and the longing, as part of a community and in mutual care, to re-appropriate the concept of home. The artistic process, which combines music, artistic audio description and choreography, incorporates the experiences and personal archives of the performers. In this way, A PLACE CALLED HOME dances deeply into the emotional, multifaceted and physical experiences of home.
