A live theater game for home
It is autumn in the long year of the pandemic. A young woman returns to her home village because she can no longer afford the rent in the big city. An authority sends out thick letters to evaluate the population's resilience to crises. And a community is forming online that celebrates voluntary renunciation as a lifestyle alternative to the longing for relaxation.
In HOMECOMING the audience stays at home together. From there, they set out to explore a story that reaches far beyond their own four walls in prominent and remote places on the internet, in live performances and chat histories.
To play you will need a computer with internet access, a telephone and a mailbox.
