Next week (from the 21st to the 26th of August), we will perform at Edinburgh Fringe Festival with an experimental version of our latest production Where Is Home?
Through this show, we are asking the primary questions: Where Do You Come From? Where Are You Heading? Where Is Home? Over the past two years we’ve been doing that on three continents with a wide variety of people – from Latino teenagers in downtown LA, to young adults in Johannesburg, and of course British audiences of all colours and ages. What we’ve found is that the questions resonate with everyone, regardless of background. If asking these questions can help to affirm identity, build a sense of belonging and self-worth, or allow people to re-live powerful emotions in the safety of a theatre or a studio, then we are doing our jobs. It’s also a lot of fun as creating art is a bit like playing, but it can be a very serious kind of game.
