What and Where is HOME?

A magical, large-scale spectacle built from the ground up, HOME combines illusion, live music, home-spun engineering and an inventive use of audience interaction to compose an experience that asks, where is home? If it is not a place, what is home? HOME explores — and explodes — the relationship between “house” and “home,” and it invites audiences to think twice about the physical and emotional bonds that connect us.

We’re thinking a lot about those ideas of houses and homes in the run up to this show (SEP 27 – OCT 1), and below you’ll find famous quotes about ‘home,’ and a playlist of songs about the concept too!

“Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action.”
-Mother Teresa

“The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”
-Maya Angelou

“If you go anywhere, even paradise, you will miss your home.”
-Malala Yousafzai

“There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.”
-Jane Austen

“The kitchen is the heart of every home, for the most part. It evokes memories of your family history.”
-Debi Mazar

“Home is people. Not a place. If you go back there after the people are gone, then all you can see is what is not there any more.”

― Robert Frost

“How often have I lain beneath rain on a strange roof, thinking of home.”
― William Faulkner

“Home isn’t where you’re from, it’s where you find light when all grows dark.”

“If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn’t there, I never really lost it to begin with.”
― L. Frank Baum

“Home is the nicest word there is.”
― Laura Ingalls Wilder

“Home isn’t a place, its a feeling”
― Cecelia Ahern

“You can go other places, all right – you can live on the other side of the world, but you can’t ever leave home”
― Sue Monk Kidd

“Home is where somebody notices when you are no longer there. ”
― Aleksandar Hemon

“Peace that was the other name for home.”
– Kathleen Norris
