The piece has already been touring London in venues of the like The Space (November 2009), Victoria Train Station (March 2010) Bexleyheath Shopping Centre (May 2010).
Casa is a Theatrical dance piece with elements of structured improvisation. The work explores the themes of cultural identity and personal alienation. It looks at the problems with cultural identification and integration despite living in a globalised changing culture. Human interrelation, sense of community and solitude are all part of the everyday struggle to fit. The piece is a collage of still images and stylized sketches inspired from typical everyday life situations, such as that of a crowd of people in a public place. As the piece unfolds characters wearing big heavy coats come to life with their own little story and go through a journey where they interact with each other and sense of belonging and what makes a place home are questioned.
The work is performed by a mixed ensemble of professional and non-professional dancers and actors.
