Bring Me Back Home

What do you carry with you without realizing it?

Bring Me Back Home is a personal performance by Bright Richards and David Richards about origin, identity, and the bond between father and son. About what is passed down from generation to generation: in words, in silences, in expectations.

When Bright fled Liberia to the Netherlands at age 21, he left his first twenty years of life behind. Now that David has reached the same age, that story takes on new meaning.

The performance combines poetic text, dance, and personal stories about home, memory, and the question of who we are.
