The Shape of A Bird
WORLD PREMIERE Saga Seed Theatre at M1 Esplanade, Singapore 2016
A writer locked in a cell scribbles letters to her daughter on the outside, telling the younger woman tales of another mother and child living in an empire ruled by cicadas. The insects detest writing, yet neither woman can deny the stories waiting to burst out and reveal a history forgotten and forbidden.
