my home is not my home
A hybrid performance ritual on alienation, faith, and belonging. Jesus and Madonna appear as trash prophets amid a paradise-lost iconography, offering sinister acts of devotion. Drawing from feminist philosophy and lived encounters at the margins,
my home is not my home is a ballad for all those homesick for a better world. Developed through site-specific interventions between bathrooms and streets, and durational iterations within Berlin’s underground scene, early versions were censored in small-town Bavaria (2018) and later celebrated at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe as “truly radical”
(Total Theatre).
