SETTING BONES:  A performance work exploring diasporan home & identity in the face of maternal & cultural loss.

SUMMARY: When their mother and grandmother suddenly die, three estranged siblings are forced to come together and pack up their childhood home. As the siblings sort through the artifacts of their family’s herstories, they are forced to confront the legacies of displacement, cultural erasure, and fragmentation that have haunted them for generations. In turn, they must rediscover one another and their desires for belonging, understanding and love.

Setting Bones is a new production from Kalik Arts, an interdisciplinary arts company committed to telling stories that centre the struggles and successes of women, queers, trans and gender nonconforming folks and people of colour – exploring the intersections of identity, history, and cultural memory.

Created by: Anoushka Ratnarajah, Kamee Abrahamian, lee williams boudakian
