Wat betekent ‘thuis’ als je opgroeit te midden van geweld, terrorisme en politieke spanningen? Wat betekent ‘thuis’ als je er onvrijwillig bent weggegaan?
De Indiase regio Punjab was ruim dertig jaar het toneel van geografische en culturele scheuring, ingrijpende etnografische conflicten, kolonialistische inmenging en globaal kapitalisme. In My home at the intersection verwerkt theatermaker Abhishek Thapar met behulp van theater, film, maquette en zelfs smaken, zijn familietrauma. In de intieme setting van zijn performance toont Abhishek Thapar momenten van een persoonlijke reis naar een verwrongen verleden in dialoog met documenten van een poging tot een ritueel van "teruggaan" om er zeker van te zijn dat je het verleden bent vergeten.

Performance ‘My home at the Intersection’ Abhishek Thapar / Afra Tafri Creations

What does ‘home’ mean when you grow up amid violence, terrorism and political tensions? What does ‘home’ mean if you left it involuntarily?

For over 30 years, the Indian region of Punjab was the scene of geographical and cultural rupture, sweeping ethnographic conflicts, colonialist interference and global capitalism. In My home at the intersection, theatre-maker Abhishek Thapar uses theatre, film, maquette and even tastes, to process his family trauma. In the intimate setting of his performance, Abhishek Thapar shows moments of a personal journey into a twisted past in dialogue with documents of an attempt at a ritual of ‘going back’ to make sure you have forgotten the past.
