Synopsis: | Inspired by the same ancient tablet, but separated by a century of history, two women - Gertrude Bell, the Victorian English explorer and Dora, a Kansas housewife from 2004 - journey to the heart of Mesopotamia in search of meaning, redemption and the original Garden of Eden. What they find is an absurd and phantasmagorical adventure which brings them beyond themselves and closer to. . .[ h o m e ]. Set in the playground of the mind, [ h o m e ] weaves Martha Graham-based movement, a Levantine soundscape, puppets and masks into an epic comedy of historical, political, religious and existential insurgency. | |||||

Synopsis: | The 100 year-old Nels has been residing in a Minneapolis nursing home for three years, being tended to by, and matching wits with, the much younger Brad, one of the playfully sadistic employees. Brad is every bit as confused about his own future and death as Nels. Pipe, a Chippewa Native American, tries to reconcile the wreckage of his family with the lessons of his grandfather through caring for Nels and abuse of peyote. It snows as a kind of benediction but is Pipe as responsible as he believes? | |||||
