Bitter Moves Sweet Truths

Even without Peter Pan’s pixie dust, we are still jumping out of our windows again and again. Efforts were made in vain, but we still hope to make a life well-lived in our next reprise. We, as migrant activist artists, always improvise for our survival.

Like the stargazers looking at galaxies light-years away, we continue to search for those who understand and connect with us. We are holding onto glimpses of hope as we wildly wander through the treacherous landscapes.

In this immersive and transportive journey, with live music, dance and visual imagery, we invite you to leap into Angela, Ghost and John’s fantastical world and embrace the power of imagination. We create our work intuitively with a visual language we have developed by working together very closely. In our third yearly collaboration since 2020, we carefully keep the candle lights on.

We are all children with a long history of resistance.

Please note: This event will be standing (seating will be available for access needs only), the audience is welcome to move around the space following the performers’ instructions. We invite the audience to wear dark clothing and comfortable shoes for the best spectating experience.

*Post-show conversations after every show with pizzas!
