TOUCHING HOME
About the show
How does it feel like to leave your country, to abandon everything that connects you to home to find a new home? And if you couldn’t use words, how would you express it?
Touching Home will be a new sensory theatre show inspired by the everyday stories of London migrants. Walking away from the dramatic narratives shared by the media, we want to explore the intimacy of the experience of leaving one’s country. But we won’t describe it: we want audiences to feel it, to touch it, to smell it, to taste it.
Entering someone's first bedroom in a new land. Tasting their favourite dish. Dancing with a stranger to feel the rhythms of a faraway land. And hearing the multiple memories of the many people who have decided to make London their home.
