WELL, COME HOME!
A spectacle staged in the remote area of Malcantone, a particular region in the South of Switzerland, involving a professional cast as well as amateurs between 8 and 76 years old.
Protagonists are a small village and its history of migration. In a site-specific setting, the piece narrates the story of a woman who returns to the place of her childhood, taking the audience onto a surreal journey. Walking through the narrow streets, past and present, dream and reality begin to melt. What follows is a feast dedicated to life and community, where spectators, villagers and Malcantonese emigrants will eventually gather at table to celebrate the joy of being together.
The project’s intergenerational encounters and the implosion of linguistic and cultural boundaries had a strong impact on the surroundings, allowing access to an unfamiliar artform, creating space for exchange and sustainable relationships.
