It deals with the importance of having a dream, making your voice heard in a world that wasn’t built with you in mind, and finding a home. Moving from poetic monologues to recognisable family situations and spiritual dialogues, the show raises questions on the burden of the black dream and what it’s like to be sent out into the world as your family’s only hope. As a teenager, American-born Travis leaves his native Chicago to lead a nomadic life. He reaches the Netherlands where he falls in love, starts a family and builds a new life for himself. Then at 78, Travis embarks on one last big trip and returns to Chicago. Standing at his family grave he looks back upon his life. Bringing back memories from the past and rekindling conversations with his relatives, Travis prepares for his passage to the hereafter.
