The work holds intimacy and distance together, tracing the ongoing love and labour of making home while navigating intersecting identities.
Inspired by Grace Nichols' poem To My Coral Bones, the piece moves like the tide, reflecting on inheritance and what is carried across generations. It unfolds as an imagined island made together, breathing with slow, patient currents that carry fragments of story, sensation, and feeling beyond the individual body.
Award-winning artist Mele Broomes directs this debut production by moniqux ensemble
