In the space between the familiar and the unfamiliar, people search for a place in their bodies and surroundings where they can feel ‘at home’. Their encounters redefine the intimate and public spheres as interwoven action arenas, and raise questions about the necessary and inevitable existence of the Other within us. The concept of Home breaks down into different meanings ranging from the private to the political, and reveals the fragility of the place in which we live in.

From the press:
“This is a fullhearted work that bleeds towards us…”Homesick” is doing something that other dance works have not done here ever before-It relates to a philosophical idea. Moreover, it also creates through it a political statement.It relates to a philosophical idea. Moreover-it creates through it a political statement.” Shir Hacham, WallaIt relates to a philosophical idea. Moreover-it creates through it a political statement.” Shir Hacham, Walla

“There is dance and there is the dance of Iris Erez. A dance that dances like the way we breath, without the need of pathos,and it is intuitive and intellectual all at once.(Anat Zecharia, Yediot Acharonot, 21/8/2011)
“What makes the piece so beautiful and touching is the movement language and the hypnotizing performance of the 3 dancers that live fully the complicated process that Erez created.(Zvi Goren, Habama, 27/12/2011)
