Details

Home is an original devised multi-disciplinary performance inspired by Euripides' Medea, which will immerse the audience in a world of powerful emotions and senses. Euripides offers a timeless study on political and social issues, as well as deep contemporary insight into the human psychic. Home is a universal story, aimed at theatregoers and new audiences. It introduces an exhilarating combination of new text, poetry, voices, songs and rhythms, movement and stillness for a wider exploration of the definition of one's home. It is a hero's journey of a man seeking his inner voice, looking back in time and reflecting on the key moments of his life in order to penetrate the masks and understand the symbolisms behind it. The hero becomes a story teller, a mirror of his current reality and his past stories. The production based on personal experiences, poetry and imagery will be created. It is a quest, the journey that it is required for the people today - more than ever due to all the multiple distractions that we face from technology to politics - to reach a space of clarity, personal freedom and expression. Audiences are invited to release their suppressed desires, break away from conventional thinking and reconnect with their feelings - inspiring the hero from within.
