“A stripped back show. A performance that shows us who we are.” – viewer
H.O.M.E is the first aerial Hip H’Opera produced in Ireland. A thrilling cast that explores society’s limitations and what suppresses us as humans. Each cast member explores their personal story in aerial, movement and opera with a stunning performance by Triona Walsh who works with Shirley Keane from Opera Workshop Limerick.
When Chantal McCormick and Tobi Omoteso came together their idea was to create an aerial Hip H’Opera.
Home is an An Egoic Illusion.
Each choreographed piece of aerial work is performed to original music composed by Fidget Feet’s co founder Jym Daly and turntable artist B.O.G

“The cypher holds the form. The cypher is not yours or mine. We together.”
The experience of watching HOME was unlike any I have ever had as an audience member. The combination of the different art forms made this an extraordinarily unique experience which was profoundly moving to witness. It felt like I was watching a group of Marvel hero’s combine their respective superpowers to make a piece of art that was surprising, thrilling and devastatingly beautiful.

MEET THE CAST
SARA GRANDA
Sara is originally from Malaga, Spain. She is an associate artist with Fidget Feet and has performed in many of Fidget Feet’s indoor and outdoor shows.
Sara’s performance brings a lurking darkness. The performance using straps shows the strength of a woman going through a healing process. A trust is formed and Sara’s aerial choreography conveys the pure determination in a woman to heal and come through the entanglement that darkness brings.

WILLZEE
Willzee, a ’Travel buffer “ born into the travelling community and growing up in foster homes, discovered music to express his true self freely.

Willzee’s performance is gritty, raw and a huge insight into the travelling community in Ireland. His performance brings up conversations on death, suicide, loneliness, and the heart.

Chantal brings a lot of herself to her performance. Trauma, pain, suffering, female suppression, strength, freedom and religious beliefs. The aerial choreography sees Chantal being brought from a place of imprisonment to freedom, a coming HOME to a belief. Shirley Keane brings her angel-like operatic performance to this choreographed aerial piece. The angel of sorts, the light and freedom. Becoming a godly female that knows no boundaries

Slys performance in home is the comforter and carer. When things become out of control your mind seeks security and a longing to come Home to yourself. His dance style adds a hip hop twist to the performances of the other cast members as he intertwines with the aerial choreography.
