BE RIGHT BACK
by Jacob Wu
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.
Audience Choice Award winner at Stockholm Fringe 2023.

BOING VERSION
As an experienced actor yet working as a barista in London to make ends meet, Boing searches for the perfect recipe for coffee and milk tea and the performativity of brewing to create an aromatic retelling of his own migration journey.
Note: Participants will get the chance to drink the beverage brewed by themselves and the performer. Cow’s milk and oat milk options available.
