REVIEW: Home
Media Education || Festival Radio Project| 'Home' Venue: Zoo Venues Reviewer: Sally |
It is the second year at the Fringe for Theatre Oikos. This year's offering is a moving and engaging piece looking at the concept of home. What makes a home and how people build new lives when they move away from the place they call home. HOME follows the story of one particular immigrant in Britain today and draws comparisons with immigrants from the past.
The story of HOME is told through narrative and physical theatre. The company have created a very aesthetically pleasing performance set to music, which invokes emotion in the audience.
As I watched the performance I thought about my own home. Being an English immigrant in Scotland I felt that the performance spoke to me about the nature of immigration and it acknowledged the outsider in all of us.
This is an interesting, thought provoking piece that tells a story of an issue that is perhaps more relevant today than it has ever been. In a world where migration is a part of our global society, most people have or will experience what it is like to live away from home and to establish a home for themselves. Ultimately is there any place like home? Is home where the heart is? What does home mean to you? Why not see the show and let Theatre Oikos explore HOME with you.
