Unpacking Home follows The Poet, a character in search of home, who receives a suitcase from their ancestors filled with items that unlock memories and guide their journey. Dancers embody these memories—giving form to identity, love, struggle, and resilience. From Abuela’s kitchen to the snowy streets of Chicago, and the domino table, each vignette reveals a layer of belonging. The performance culminates in an invitation for the audience to reflect and share, completing the search for home as a collective act of remembrance.
