H.O.M.E by Fidget Feet and Tobi Omoteso is the first aerial Hip H’Opera created in Ireland. A thrilling cast of nine interrogate society’s limitations and what elevates and suppresses us as humans: darkness, trust, strength, gender expectations, identity, and more.
Devised in collaboration with the cast, H.O.M.E explores the personal stories of each performer through aerial, movement, Hip-Hop, spoken word, music, and opera. The performance engages its audience viscerally and emotionally, led by a gritty and raw narration by critically acclaimed rapper Wilzee.
The combination of the different art forms makes this an extraordinarily unique experience which is profoundly moving to witness.
H.O.M.E is a co-production with Tobi Omoteso and Fidget Feet, funded by Arts Council.
H.O.M.E is commissioned by Carlow Arts Festival, Cairde Arts Festival and Earagail Arts Festival with support from An Grianán Theatre, Donegal County Council, Irish Aerial Creation Centre and Irish Aerial Dance Festival.
Featuring Chantal McCormick, Sara Granda, Tobi Omoteso, Wilzee, Sly (Suleman Sode), Sasha Krohn, BOG, Triona Walsh, and Pepe Pancho.
