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.
