Eclipses Group Theater NY and TeamTheatre are proud to present the U.S. premiere of Andreas Flourakis' play "I Want a Country." The play explores human beings' search for a place to call home. Through the individual and collective voices of a theatrical chorus, we see real people with unique immigration stories, with their own individual reasons—such as war, poverty, persecution and abuse due to race, gender, religion, etc.—for seeking a new country in which to belong. Which and what is this new country? How does each of us imagine an ideal country? Different cultures, ideologies and opinions are revealed through this exploration. The production combines Flourakis’ script with devised elements, original songs and new monologues developed and performed by the cast of actors hailing from various countries around the world.
