Why We Left Home

Hibi loves tea! So he leaves home to find some tea. Maybe he can  grow his own tea leaf? Lonely is the path to locate the seeds! Will Hibi  finally be able to enjoy a cup of tea?  Told through mask and object theatre, Why We Left Home is a silly tale about leaving home and the past behind for some serious  rebirth. Exploring the pain and joy of queerness and leaving home, this  brand-new alternative comedy will serve you a nice heart-warming cup of  tea, literally.  After the successful scratch performance at BOLD Elephant supported by Ensemble Not Found and Halfpace Theatre, Why We Left Home is coming to you in its full glory.  “Absolutely captivating.” —Audience member  Hector T.J.
