Home is… is a poetry stage play written and performed by students currently registered to the University of Johannesburg’s Arts and Culture poetry class. The production, directed by Quaz Roodt, explores, through poetry and movement the myriad forms in which the idea of “home” manifests.
“Home is a puzzle
Home is a question
Home is a song“.
Featuring cast of students from across all four UJ campuses ‘Home is… seeks to invite poetry lovers into the homes of the poets, to share their experiences, hold them through the dark, dance to the music of family and unlock new rooms full of hope.
Audience Responses
Personally home is a very enlightening, beautiful and amazing program.It gave me a space to express my deeper emotions and gave me the courage to believe in myself.Even though I’m not studying art but art is part of me thus home is gave me the opportunity to express that and I really enjoyed all the time we had.I wish that it was a never ending experience.It enhance my self image and the way I used to perceive things which was pessimistic but now I trust in myself and more confident than ever before.Because of home is I am a better version of me.

Each poem expressed a significant message. Each one of them relating to not just what their homes are but also a great other number. An amazing performance and coordination. I loved the production.
