Mama, I’m
Coming Home
“… flows right into the
circulatory system of
the audience.” / GT
DANCE PERFORMANCE BY GUY WEIZMAN AND RONI HAVER
Mama, I’m Coming Home by Guy Weizman/Roni Haver confronts us through
social reflection, humor and dynamic vocabulary. Raw and exciting in their
approach, they explore the migrant body, soul and longing through a blend of
dance, text, music and visuals.
Live music performed on stage plays an important role. Mama, I’m Coming
Home was created specifically for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani.
“Mama, I’m Coming Home is a piece about social identity, questions about
the past, about belonging. About heimweh … but to where? A life consumed
by memories of the magical world you left behind. But what about taking the
responsibility and maturity to accept the new reality? A life formed on the continuum between dream and reality, between west and east, between the location of the soul and the location of the body.” Guy Weizman, choreographer
Guy Weizman and Roni Haver, the inventive duo behind Mama, I’m Coming
Home, are Israeli choreographers based in the Netherlands. The recurring theme
is personal liberation of the individual in different political and social contexts.
The movement vocabulary is innovative and raw and the result is often an intriguing, seductive and dynamic. In 2002, they founded Club Guy & Roni. CHOREGRAPHY
