Come Back Home is a 60-minute absurdist theatre piece by Palestinian artist Fadi Murad, presented at Anatomy Lecture Theatre as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Working through text, video and sound, Murad explores ongoing grief and how the past continues to inhabit the present — moving through self-criticism, fear and the unknown, through the logic of the subconscious. Drawing on personal experience and memory, the performance questions how loss shapes ambition, identity and the idea of return. It shifts between humour and catharsis, exposing doubt, ego, tenderness and contradiction.
Why see this show?
A thoughtful, personal piece that uses absurdity and the subconscious to examine grief, identity and the meaning of home. The shifting tone — between humour and catharsis — makes it a genuinely textured piece of theatre rather than something easily categorised.
