We Walk Each Other Home

Between setting out and arriving, uprooting and the search for a life of dignity: TRËI sings songs of the displaced and the exiled in seventeen languages. Through vocal-instrumental winter journeys ranging from Hildegard von Bingen to Âşık Veysel and Arvo Pärt, the trio explores migration as one of the fundamental themes of human history and the injustice that occurs time and again, in plain sight.
«We Walk Each Other Home» sings of the unbearable coexistence of uprooting and hope, and poses the question: where is our home?
