Anatomy of a Home

An auto-biographical monodrama

The show is about home; chosen, forced, in between, both, or other. We are born in a home, if we’re one of the lucky ones. Then we grow, explore, and choose it as our home, or choose another. Many of us, much more than we think or like to believe, have other homes forced on them, in very obvious ways. Some of them learn to love their new homes, and yet others live between the two. How else is our relationship with our home(s)? There’s a whole world of homes out there.

Anatomy of a Home was revisited and workshopped at the IDlab of Amsterdam University of the Arts. Erik Lint, Willem Weemhoff and their team helped transform the show into an immersive experience in an arena configuration with video projections. We are now trying to adapt and tour this version as much as possible.

A stripped version based on the oral storytelling tradition was preformed on a Rederij Lampedusa boat ride.
