THUIS

Dear traveller,

I heard you were looking for a new adventure.
I am looking for a home.
THUIS, is what the dutch call it, a feeling of home.
When was the last time you felt at home?
What makes you feel at home?

To me, it’s a trip I do every time I need to be with Them.
Who’s Them?
I invite you to join me on my journey toward THUIS, maybe you’ll discover then.

A crowded street, bicycles everywhere, the sound of water,
Some birds here and there, lively chatter, a warm breeze,
A series of houses, shops and cafes,
A red door on Oudegracht street with the number 332 next to it,
What’s behind it?

Please knock on the door upon your arrival, I warmly await our meeting.

Best,
The one on the other side.

Christie Bitar

Christie is a storyteller, using space, text and one’s position in space to tell a narrative. She tells stories to keep a connection with home when she feels she needs to be there. It is her travelling tool, and one she wishes to lend to her spectators when they experience her work. Should you ever feel the need to temporarily travel somewhere, to have space from your space, her work is a bridge between spaces for when you need one. You’ll listen to stories, experience a superposition of two separate spaces, and temporarily meet them both, through physical and mental presence.

What do you long for? What longs for you?

Let’s travel together!
