Guide a ghost through broken memories
HOMECOMING: Immersive Installation blends storytelling, dynamic choreography, and cutting-edge technology to trace the journey of a woman searching for her lost sense of self.
This multisensory experience invites people to step into the role of a ghost, unlocking the story through their own movement. Guided by The Watcher, an eternal being who aids those who have lost their way, audiences will embark on a journey through holographic projections, Virtual Reality and a symbolic tasting ritual set in a resinous, dark forest. Told from the spirit’s perspective, this emotionally charged narrative explores disconnection, the cathartic joy of rediscovering oneself, and the slow process of rebuilding after burnout.
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.
