DESCRIPTION:

The road back home begins the moment we leave it.The war in Ukraine has forced many people to lose their homes. Forever or temporarily. Now their home is in suitcases and memories.With such a scenario, where does one belong now?
The performance focuses on the experience of people who were forced to leave their home, on their body memories and reflections about home and its physical and emotional meanings.
This is a story about thousands of journeys, about those who were forced to share a wagon of an evacuation train and remained unconquered despite accepting the new rules of life. This is a dedication to each of us, Ukrainians, and many other refugees, a dedication to what we have lost and our courage to speak about our pain.
