[Home] Or the Quest For the Lost Tablet Of Ur

Synopsis:
Inspired by the same ancient tablet, but separated by a century of history, two women - Gertrude Bell, the Victorian english explorer and Dora, a Kansas housewife from 2004 - journey to the heart of Mesopotamia in search of meaning, redemption and the original Garden of eden. What they find is an absurd and phantasmagorical adventure which brings them beyond themselves and closer to. . .[ h o m e ]. Set in the playground of the mind, [ h o m e ] weaves Martha Graham-based movement, a Levantine soundscape, puppets and masks into an epic comedy of historical, political, religious and existential insurgency.
