Description | Drawing on the stories of lost loved ones collected in interviews, director Genevieve Trace and her creative ensemble use stories of the past to explore the psychological construction of a life.

Building the set around her in real-time, the performer acts as a conduit of multiple stories. As these real, remembered and imagined stories play out in a filmic and sonic landscape, audiences will be left questioning the tangibility |
