Home Dundee

February 2006

A pink neon sign spelling out HOME DUNDEE is illuminated against a black backdrop. Above this, a black and white photo of Dundee is projected above the sign. In front of this, an actor in a suit sits on a table.

Overview

A breathtakingly ambitious event to launch the National Theatre of Scotland.

This project will transform the McManus Galleries into a 1950’s Dance Hall. With live performance and filmed interviews with residents of care homes, HOME Dundee recreates a theatrical youth culture from half a century ago – a nostalgic journey through time and an unforgettable night out for the young at heart.

Partner: Dundee Rep Theatre

  • A woman dressed in black sits with her legs crossed on a stage, with one arm raised up behind her head, her hand on the back of her neck. Next to her on a table is a large arrangement of flowers in a glass vase and a glass of water. Next to the table is a standing electric fan. The stage is covered in a red light, giving everything a warm hue.
