Dhana and the Rosebuds at Joe's Movement Emporium

Home. When do you leave home? Have you ever been forced to leave home? What reminds you of home? As war, violence, and the climate crisis continue to force people around the world to migrate and leave their homes behind, Dhana and the Rosebuds explores these themes through a poetic lens. Dance, movement, and sound reveal the intimate history of Dhana - a young Syrian woman, now a career scientist living in New York - who forgot about her past. When she thinks she sees her estranged grandmother on television among the refugees crossing the border in the Balkans, she decides to go and find her. Join Ally this November for a spiritual journey into place and time as Dhana makes her way to the heart of the migration emergency - through refugee camps, airports and train stations - to find her grandmother, her roots and ultimately herself. Devised and created by Federica Cellini based on a screenplay by Federica Cellini and Giulia Corda
