Synopsis

Living at Baggage Claim is a collection of poems & tales across time. Based on experiences and trials while on tour as a traveling artist, Matam blends elements of West-African folklore and contemporary poetics to journey through the eyes of The Boy - a reflection of their inner child and an impossible future - trying to honor who they are by accepting who they were always meant to be. But in order to get there, you must let go of all your baggage. Especially the ones that do not belong to you.
