From Lebanese writer/performer Raffi Feghali: Anatomy of a Home is a storytelling performance about home. 'Through a set of stories we see how and why I promise to never leave Beirut, and what happens to make me do anything to call somewhere else my new home. We are born in a home, if we’re one of the lucky ones. Then we grow, explore, and choose it as our home, or choose another. Many of us, much more than we think or like to believe, have other homes forced on them in very obvious ways. Some of those learn to love their new homes and yet others live between the two. How else are our relationships with our home(s)? There’s a whole world of homes out there. In this show, I explore my relationship with my home, the city of Beirut. A place I love so much that I promised to never leave and now I’m learning to hate because I can’t live in it for another second.'
