The
Netherlands

Letting go is difficult. We don't want to give up what we came to love and trust. So we sometimes cling to things and people that aren't good for us at all. The four dancers in Home, locked in a shared living room like a family, cling to each other as well as to the sofa they are already sitting on, while the audience enters the Agora Theater in Lelystad. They slide, jump, run, and encounter each other in ever-changing constellations. The furniture is rearranged, but nobody seems satisfied. The sofa, the lost place of longing, slowly becomes a prison and a weapon. Those who can't let go risk being crushed by the burden of the past. It takes time until the four free themselves and sit quietly on the floor. In this moment, you feel that something new can finally begin.
