Using music, visual arts, and poetry as tools for audience engagement, Tsukumo Niwa's “Home and Away” features diverse stories of those that explore “home” and “away” in their own means: those who are locked “away” in prisons, those who are forced “away” from their “home” as refugees, those who go “away” to conquer and colonize others’ “home”, and those whose idea of “home” is challenged in a rapidly-changing society. Altogether, the performance examines the power and privilege (or lack thereof) highlighted by different kinds of traveling.
