HOME is a play that fuses puppetry, theatre and multimedia into a visually thrilling and emotionally moving story of a woman’s connection to the universe.  Alice is an archaeologist, mother and scholar at the final crossroads of her life.  A visit from an intimidating guardian angel (and his strangely familiar young companion) sends Alice on a trip through time and memory, digging through the layers of the past, unearthing her life with her brilliant but troubled husband and their young daughter, and her years studying the people of Pompeii, frozen forever in their last moments on Earth.

HOME uses live actors alongside lifelike full-figure puppets inspired by Japanese bunraku techniques, shadow play, state-of-the-art digital projections and more to tell Alice’s story through the very contents of her home.  Photos on the walls become animate; plush toys and dolls come to life; clouds of dust form into moving images, singing in the voices of ancestors; furniture travels around the space, opening up to reveal dynamic museum-style dioramas of the past.

Presented by The Tank, a home for emerging artists.

HOME is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by LMCC. LMCC empowers artists by providing them with networks, resources, and support, to create vibrant, sustainable communities in Manhattan and beyond.  Additional support has been provided by the Linda & Isaac Stern Foundation. Earlier developmental presentations of HOME were made possible with support from The Jim Henson Foundation, Jane Henson’s Puppetry at the Carriage House program and Dixon Place.
