Heimatlied

hope is a thing with daughters

What are the consequences of being political? Starting from this question, ensemble member Luana Velis embarks on a musical journey to Chile and into her own family history together with her fathers.

“…the music and the love never stop. Without the past, there is no future.” GRANDMOTHER, 1995

A family shaped by exile, repression, violence, and trauma finds in music a means of creating a sense of home. The evening weaves together documentary material and literary texts, showing that standing up for something does have consequences. And that the final note must not be an act of violence.
