MAKING A HOME IN A NEW LAND
​
DING!
We will shortly arrive at your destination. Please have your papers ready and remember that not all new starts are easy.
How does it feel to be new? Arriving in a place where you do not understand anything, do not know anyone? You feel different and look different. What does it take to feel like home? What does it take to belong?
BELONGING explores being foreign in a new land, based on collected stories and memories from immigrants and refugees.

TEATER REFLEKSION
TEATER ANIMISME: Animism is the ancient and long-forgotten belief of life in all things. We make this reality through puppetry and theatre of animation. When someone watches a puppet, something magical happens - they believe in the unbelievable and connect on an almost supernatural level. The attention is electric. This is the reason we work with this art form.
Teater Animisme is founded by Rebekah Caputo (MA Puppetry as Creative Practice) and collaborates with different artists on each project. Alongside this, she is puppetry director, devisor and puppet-maker for Odd Doll Puppetry (UK) as well as puppeteer, devisor and design assistant to Teater Refleksion (DK).
Rebekah also teaches puppetry and puppet-making.

TEATER REFLEKSION is a puppet theatre and has since 1990 created and devised theatre for children telling simple and universal stories by using puppets, music, very few words and by having a clear visual and aesthetic identity. In each show and in each individual performance Teater Refleksion want to create an intimate, delicate and intense atmosphere to ensure an experience of real presence for each individual child and audience.
​
Teater Refleksion is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation and the Municipality of Aarhus.
