Come Back Home explores ongoing grief and how the past continues to inhabit the present. It moves through self-criticism, fear and the unknown, through absurdity and the logic of the subconscious. Through text, video and sound, Palestinian artist Fadi Murad questions how loss shapes ambition, identity and the idea of return through personal experience and memory. The performance shifts between humour and catharsis, exposing doubt, ego, tenderness and contradiction, while asking what it means to carry home within you.
