Conceived in collaboration by renown artists Ty Defoe, Kate Freer, and Siobhan “Growing Elm” Brown, this new devised piece of theatre explores the interwoven lives and stories of eight unique characters written by the diverse actors who play them. It is a story that traces back our own histories and lineages. That reveals the costs and realities of migration. And that challenges us to defy colonialist practices and reintroduce the indigenous ways that came before them.

Full production produced at Boston University in the Winter of 2021.

There’s only ten minutes to prepare a boy into becoming a man, to find comfort amidst the cruelness of fate, to yearn for the past while not fearing the future, and to say goodbye one last time to the ones you never thought you’d have to before.
