The music-theatre performance Where Are You From, Girl by actress and musician Lea Mihevc, which receives its premiere at Cankarjev dom, addresses the difference between the public and the intimate as a metaphor for the relationship between foreign lands and home. Through voice, body, and above all, different music genres, the actress searches for potential openings in the established forms, expectations, even clichés, through which truth could penetrate in the form of an inner voice – intimacy.

She juxtaposes a series of dualities, connecting, distinguishing, and resolving them. In an exploration of role-playing, she seeks to determine what's hers and what belongs to other people. What it means to be available to another in terms of acting – and being human. When, if at all, do role-playing and the need to belong disappear.
