HOME: A Place Within uses the house as a metaphor and reflects on the refuge, intimacy, and comfort it provides. In an alienating, changing and unpredictable world, four people with different lives spend their daily lives waiting. While everything changes outside, something begins to change within them. Like our experience of home which accompanies us from birth, we imbue it with meaning and it, in turn, provides us with meaning. The home is us.
Spain-based choreographer Ana Beatriz Perez, working with Hedwig’s Chicago based dancers, builds on Hedwig’s multi-platformed choreographic practices which interweaves filmed and live-streamed dance from each dancer’s physical location. Spanish composer Maria Move’s original music score, with music production by Raul Grillo, enhances the dance.
