A Floating Caravan Under the Moon is a site-responsive devised performance that deals with issues of cultural and personal identity with irony, self-irony and humour. The piece stemmed from a topic that intrigued Chiara D’Anna for years: What is HOME? When do we really feel at home? And why?​

A collaboration between Panta Rei Theatre and the Theatre & Performance Practice department at London Metropolitan University, the team included a mix of professional actors, designers and students from 12 different countries. It combined 10 stories in 7 languages.

It has been developed in two phases. The first version of the show was performed by a cast of six actors in London in 2015; the final version was performed as a promenade site-specific performance at the Crisis Art Festival in Arezzo in June 2016.

"You made laugh, you made cry...and you surprise me: I will never forget it!”

"A really moving beautiful piece. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I want to see more of your work!"

"Mindblowing: I've never seen a show with so many languages."

"Beautiful art."
