A House A Home takes short stories of the female writers Clarice Lispector, Alice Munro, and Kate Chopin that deal with themes of womanhood and life juices, home, family and absence as a starting point.
In a flat/kitchen set on a miniature stage, the author dances through different situations integrating in it the personal and actual frame of the piece. Entrapment in the small space and possible feeling of entrapment of the "standard" female roles is not linked to victimhood but through humor guides us into the question of freedom, aliveness, maybe juiciness or even the magic of the mundane. Trough dance, music she plays with the possibility of the filmic in theatre.
