About this episode

Passageira em Casa is an Intermedia and Inter-disciplinary maritime performance inspired by the journey to define the concept of "home" and migration. The narrative is a partially fictionalized and personalized account of the Maritime history of Portugal, enacted by a dancer, a vocal performer, live video performer, live electronic composer, and other artists...all of or children of immigration. The text of the project is inspired by Camoes’, Os Lusiadas. The text, or “lyrics”, of the project are developed by the director, with poet Ian Colbert, based on Os Lusiadas; as well as Hawaiian chant, the directors ancestors diaries and memoirs, and the director's own writing. The project is inspired by various texts related to maritime journeys and Portuguese history and culture. Context specific in varying historical, cultural, lingual, architectural, and personal aspects, the project has a conceptual anchor, but will always be born new as it travels to new locations and situations as an epic Exquisite Corpse.
