| Description |
On the Way Home is a poetic journey through suburban settings, a dive into the intimate lived spaces of private homes and anonymous yet shared urban spaces;a search for a home through temporary and permanent lodgings towards a distant horizon somewhere beyond the suburb. Directed by choreographer Jenni Koistinen, On the Way Home asks what home means to us. What are the places, objects or mindscapes that make us feel at home, or homeless? Where do we find the feeling of homely cosiness, or feel its absence? Do we want to settle down or roam freely? |
