H.O.M.E

Co-commissioned by Carlow Arts Festival, Cairde Sligo Arts Festival, and Earagail Arts Festival with support from Irish Aerial Creation Centre

Presented at Carlow Arts Festival in 2025, H.O.M.E by Fidget Feet and Tobi Omoteso was the first aerial Hip H’Opera created in Ireland. A thrilling cast of nine examines society’s limitations and what elevates and suppresses us as humans: darkness, trust, strength, gender expectations, identity, and more.

Devised in collaboration with the cast, H.O.M.E explores the personal stories of each performer through aerial, movement, hip-hop, spoken word, music, and opera. The performance engages its audience viscerally, led by a gritty and raw narration by critically acclaimed rapper Wilzee.

The combination of different art forms makes this an extraordinarily unique experience, which is profoundly moving to witness. The performance was followed by a post- show talk with the artists.
