Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Anywhere but Here is an external representation of the inner turmoil of exile. Using magic realism tropes, it follows a family on a journey back toward Chile from Canada. They drive in a convertible along the desert border between the U.S. and Mexico, each with different emotions about the North they are leaving and the South they are approaching, reversing their refugee flight, refusing the state of exile. The father and his two young daughters encounter an increasingly fantastic range of characters. They are encircled by past, present, and future in a collective vision that takes them, and the audience, into the compelling experiences of people crossing and guarding the border. Threaded through the external journey is the internal search for home in an unstable world. With the arrival of the mother of the family, they confront the costs of exile and the true nature of home. "Anywhere but Here is a magic realism-inflected play following a family on a journey back to Chile from Canada. It offers an external representation of the inner turmoil of exile and a compelling experience of people crossing and guarding borders."-- Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
