Chronicling a moment of intergenerational exchange.

Based on discussions between creator Roger White and his grandmother, Marianna Clark, about a hidden life under the Nazi regime. Blending a haunting soundscape, featuring recorded conversations of grandmother and grandson, with evocative choreography that embodies memory.

A cautionary tale highlighting the perils of anti-immigrant narratives, through stories that pivot between humour and darkness, documenting the slow march toward authoritarianism.

A heartwarming reminder to honor the wisdom that came before us and hold on to the memory of those we cherish most.
From the creators of 2023's hit Papillon.
