About HOMECOMING
EARLY BIRD OFFER: limited tickets available – book now to save!*
A journey back into oneself.
What happens when your world falls apart?
You descend into the underworld and reclaim your ruins, pick up your wrinkled thoughts. And then...
HOMECOMING blends storytelling, dynamic choreography, and cutting-edge technology to trace the journey of a woman searching for her lost sense of self. A ghost, trapped in an otherworldly limbo, searches desperately to reclaim its body.
At its heart HOMECOMING is a meditation on identity, loss, and self-discovery. The work draws from the evocative imagery of Louise Bourgeois, whose Femme Maison series explores the entanglement of female identity with space, containment, and fragmentation, and Caravaggio’s striking chiaroscuro technique, where light and shadow carve out moments of revelation and emotional intensity. Shaped by these aesthetic influences, its world unfolds like a series of moving paintings.
You can experience HOMECOMING: Immersive Installation at various times between 10.45am and 5.15pm from Friday 31 October to Saturday 1 November. Book a timed slot here.

About the artists
Choreographer and stage director, Georgia Tegou’s work approaches 'Dance-as-design', intertwining choreography with design to create immersive visual environments. Drawing inspiration from architecture, sculpture, visual arts, science and philosophy,
her work explores the symbiotic relationship between dance and spatial arts, seeking to encapsulate the nuances of the human condition.

Kristina Pulejkova is a visual artist whose interdisciplinary practice is informed by science and technology.
