Synopsis
A different performer takes to the stage for each show – with no rehearsal and no idea what’s going to happen next.
Adventuring across time and space, guided by Nassim from his flat in Berlin, performer and audience embark on a global journey of belonging, connection, and the meaning of home.
★★★★★ ‘Magically uplifting and soulful’ The Telegraph
★★★★ ‘A remarkable act of live magic’ The Times
