World Premiere
A Marco Goecke Creation
Everyone thinks they know what they mean when they talk of "me." But even philosophers and neurologists have their doubts about this concept, however obvious it seems. The idea of a sole, unique, true "me" is too simple. This is what the young woman in
Searching for Home finds. Her various notions of "me" appear as inner spirits that emerge from behind doors and walls as a reflection of her unknown inner being. The spirits are compelling and stir confusion in her daily routine and in the real world. Before she can find inner peace, she must first pacify this palpable threat and acknowledge what is unknown, "the undisclosed."
This inner journey into the many forms of "me" is performed by 16 dancers. The choreographer was literally swept up by the music of Philip Glass and the images that the music generated.
Searching for Home has earned enthusiastic critical notices since its creation in Germany in 2008.
