What is home?
The planet I am pillaging?
The nation which claims me?
The room that I sleep in
or an unattainable feeling?
Interstates is a one-woman show by poet and performer Deborah Emmanuel, supported by Method Productions. Using a vocabulary of poetry, theater, movement and song, Interstates explores the idea of home, ownership and the collective identity.

Deborah's first poetry collection, When I Giggle In My Sleep, was published by Red Wheelbarrow Books in 2015. Her creative non-fiction book Rebel Rites launched May 2016. When not writing, Deborah is frontwoman of the bands Wobology and The Ditha Project, and an actor on stage and screen.
