In June 2013, ARTBARN produced Home Stretch, a site-specific installation and performance event inspired by the Robert Frost poem, In the Home Stretch.

Home Stretch led us on a journey with one man, one woman, and a deer as they pack, un-pack, build things, break things, dance, fight, love, and navigate that relentless tension between the toxic but invigorating excitement of the city, the call of the woods and promise of quiet, and the disillusions wrapped up in both.
