This is a site-specific play about the loneliness of the contemporary human and the meaning of home; it explores the borders we erect around ourselves to feel safe. It is about a child trying to find home in his dreams. The dreams are based on childrens stories such as Hansel and Gretel and games like Hide and Seek. The loneliness of his family life affects his dreams, turning them to nightmares; eventually his reality and his dreams affect each other to the point that the two cannot be separated.
