Home(less): Less Home – With(out) language? A Storytelling Performance

A young woman moves through space. She searches. She dances. She is in between these poles. Disrupted ropes. Wires. Roots in her hair. Oh home, sweet home, where are you? How to transform this circle of a lack of stability and safety, a lack of the sensation of connection to your surrounding by nature? Where do you feel understood? Where do you feel seen? In which language do you feel home? Gudrita Lapė and Greta Kšivickaitė awaken as so-called „Third Culture Kids“, a social phenomenon caused not just by kids’ families decisions, but also by whole generations and historical, political and economic circumstances.

HOME IS WHERE YOUR HEART IS.

– Where is your heart?
