We live in an age of collective trauma. Millions are displaced because of war and are forced to leave their homes. “But where is the protecting shelter when returning home becomes a nightmare?” asks choreographer Mey Seifan in advance of her new performance “How am I Here?” based on documented nightly dreams that express fears of homecoming. It splits into three spheres. In collaboration with Basel Naouri and studio slowfuture, the first sphere employs VR technology, AI, and choreographed enactment of the dreams to reflect an audio-visual immersive journey and an emotionally charged experience.
