Poet Lemn Sissay explores the nature of home through comedy, poetry and conversation in front of an audience in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia..
Further details
This show was recorded at the Ghion Hotel, in Addis Ababa. Addis is a place that Lemn feels at home in - but why? He wasn't born there, doesn't live there, and can't even speak the language. Helping Lemn understand this are two Ethiopians who were brought up in Europe but who, unlike Lemn, moved back to Addis in adulthood; a social anthropologist who is an Ethiopian with a famous English name; and his own sister, who is Addis born and bred.
