HOME MADE
Where does your heart keep landing?
HOME MADE is a love letter to the places and people we call home. Made up of the moments and memories that form us, Massive Theatre Company's new and original production explores all of the wonderfully loud moments that create a life and the soft moments that make it worth living.
At its heart are five artists, each one with their own answer to what home looks, sounds, and feels like. Playful and heartfelt, the cast contemplate: Where does your heart live, and who does it call home?
"Their stories are human and universal and young. They are young people’s stories. But they’re meant for us, of all ages, for the greater benefit of the whole." (Genevieve McClean, Theatreview)
A NEW AND ORIGINAL EMERGING ARTISTS PRODUCTION presented in partnership with Te Pou Theatre and ONEONESIX, with support form Creative New Zealand, Foundation North and Auckland Council.

What People Say
About HOME MADE
a piece that is heartfelt, thoughtful and quietly powerful. It is a love letter to belonging, performed with sincerity and crafted with care. It leaves the audience with a sense of warmth, and perhaps with a renewed appreciation for the homes they have built, and the homes they are still building.

Alex Moulton (Blackguard Media Reviews)
The hallmarks of this excellent theatre company spill from the hearts and minds of those who created it, to fill the cups of the entire audience. Even as they make their way from the theatre space to celebrate, in the half light of those lightshades of the homes that symbolically hold us.
GM
Genevieve McClean (Theatreview)
It was wonderful. Beautiful, honest, heartfelt storytelling, interspersed with humour and delivered with integrity. Physicality was executed with energy, commitment adding layers and texture to the performance. A moving night of theatre. Thank you.
