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.

Choreography & Direction: Georgia Tegou & Michalis Theophanous

Costume Design:  Justin Smith

Enter a metaphorical universe in which all sense of time is lost, where characters evoke a surreal and swirling dreamlike state. Blurring the line between the real and the imaginary, Reverie invites audiences into a ‘fantasy-like’ world in which they might recognise their own emotions, phobias and behaviours.
