BE RIGHT BACK

Where is home?

What makes a place a home?

How can we build a community together and share our common experience of being an immigrant in Europe?

​

Be Right Back is a series of workshop performances about migration and diaspora from Hong Kong. Through interactive storytelling and crafts-making in multi-sensory settings, the space is opened up for all participants to share their more-than-ordinary stories of home and migration, and find a new means of expression through crafts-making and crafting a community.

​

JACOB VERSION

Come and build paper houses with us - part playful storytelling through scaled 3D-printed miniatures and maps, part interactive model-making, come explore with us through the lens of children in perceiving the uncertainties of a daunting world much larger than them.

BOING VERSION

[Yuen Yeung / 鴛鴦 / jyun1 joeng1]: A mixture of Hong Kong-style milk tea and coffee 

​

As an experienced actor and a daytime novice barista in London to make ends meet, Boing searches for the perfect recipe for coffee, milk tea and the performativity of brewing to create an aromatic retelling of his own migration journey.

Note: Participants will get to drink the beverage brewed by themselves and the performer. Cow’s milk and oat milk options available.
