Why do we long for places we have never seen?
Why do we carry echoes of stories we barely understand?
Meanwhile Elsewhere was born from a fascination with the spaces we inhabit—both external and internal.
It is a journey through imagined cities, yes, but more than that, it is a meditation on the distances between us—between those who build and those who leave, between those who rule and those who wander, between what we say and what is truly heard.
This is not simply a performance about place. It is about power and fragility, about the architectures of longing and exile. It is about Kublai and Marco, and the unspoken weight of their words—their miscommunications, their desires, their search for meaning in a world that is constantly slipping through their fingers. It is about the stories we tell to hold onto each other, and the ways in which those stories fail us.
Blending poetic narration, evocative visuals, movement, and live music, Meanwhile Elsewhere is neither just theatre nor a simple retelling—it is an experience that shifts between dream and memory, between what is lost and what remains. Some may see it as a theatrical piece, others as a visual meditation, a philosophical dialogue, a love letter to impermanence.
Whatever lens you choose, I hope that somewhere within these cities, you find echoes of your own—your own roads, your own silences, your own attempts to be understood.
Welcome to Meanwhile Elsewhere.
Welcome to the places we build, the places we leave behind, and the places we are still trying to find.
