          In an environment that recalls ‘home,’ an ongoing cacophony of voices resonates in the space. It is the recording of multiple people answering ‘where is home?’ and what it means to them. The question was raised by artist Ekin Bernay when she started questioning the feeling of distance establishing itself between herself and ‘home’. In times of exponential moves and trajectories around the globe, our sense of belonging is redefined; is home what remains physically, or symbolically close to our hearts? The feeling of vulnerability to spaces is explored through intense, yet fragile movements. ‘Where is home?’ is an invitation to explore our inner feelings of ‘home’ and its sensitive position.

          The work is a new adaptation of ‘Where is home?’ (2018) by Ekin Bernay, presented in London by Naz Balkaya and co-organized by Performistanbul.

          Ekin Bernay (*1987, Ankara, Turkey) is a performance artist, dance & movement psychotherapist and director living in London. She has 19 years of active dance, movement experience, including performances at important stages such as Sadlers Wells, Royal Academy of Arts, Tate Modern. Ekin’s work focuses on the healing qualities of performance and movements, often using the audience as part of her work, for instance by directing the audience through text or sound in order to create choreographing situations. Her work comes from personal experiences as well as existential questions in relation to everything that surrounds us.
