H.O.M.E by Fidget Feet and Tobi Omoteso is the first aerial Hip H’Opera created in Ireland. A thrilling cast of nine interrogate society’s limitations and what elevates and suppresses us as humans: darkness, trust, strength, gender expectations, identity, and more.

Devised in collaboration with the cast, H.O.M.E explores the personal stories of each performer through aerial, movement, Hip-Hop, spoken word, music, and opera. The performance engages its audience viscerally and emotionally, led by a gritty and raw narration by critically acclaimed rapper Wilzee.

The combination of the different art forms makes this an extraordinarily unique experience which is profoundly moving to witness.

The performance will be followed by a Post Show talk with the artists, on stage at The George Bernard Shaw Theatre.
