Wah, life is damn good.
Your first big commission. Projects lined up. A talking plant.
Till an earthquake hits.
But everything is fine la huh!
I mean, it’s not like you’ve wasted all that your ancestors have worked for on a meaningless career. And of course, it’s not like you might never see your family again whilst surviving on your own in a global crisis.
Right?

落归根 (Luò yè guī gēn) Getting Home is a one-woman show that interrogates the conflict between a woman’s ambition and her sense of duty and longing to be with her family.

Supported by the City of Melbourne through SIGNAL’s Young Creatives Lab
