Welcome to the open studio of the new musical theatre performance by performance artist Alix Konadu
Broken Home, My Shrine is a multidisciplinary performance focusing on migration and identity. Through music, text, movement and ritual, the performance highlights two storylines: that of the migrant and of the migrant's child.
This project draws inspiration from West African traditions, shrines and objects that evoke a sense of home and connection. Through live music and storytelling, the performers create a shared journey experience in which love and connection serve as a response to polarisation, and where past and future come together in a collective voice that resists dehumanisation.
