After the loss of her daughter, young mother Edna must navigate the shifting terrain of grief as memory begins to consume her present. Movement, music, dialogue, puppetry and shadow-play converge in this visually arresting production. Within the cluttered familiarity of her apartment, grief erupts amidst the mundane like the sudden chorus of a song: supermarket flowers, intrusive cold calls and the apparition of Launa herself. This is a world in which the echo of childhood imagination and devastating loss co-exist, asking whether we have to let go of the past to remain present with the living?
