Synopsis:

Homeland, through the combination of dance, circus and music, tries to prevent us from being alienated and allow us to blossom into our genuine self. Through everyone’s own particular universe and dreams, one can rediscover an ideal world, an ideal home, embellished by mutual respect.

Each individual, destituted from their varnish and hindrances can finally find their roots, their home, their land, their Homeland.
