Afro-surrealism meets Japanese poetry on a double bill of puppetry performance!

[SUNFLOWER] by Sifiso Mabena & TO BE ALIVE by Leah Ogawa

[sunflower] by Sifiso Mabena (directed by Marcella Renee Murray) is a multidisciplinary performance following a Zimbabwean woman’s quest to ‘make herself at home’ after decades of being an immigrant. This play is about roots: grass roots, being rooted in, and being uprooted. Using elements of puppetry, family history, Afro-surrealism and movement, [sunflower] explores notions of home, immigration and displacement as they pertain to identity.

To Be Alive by Leah Ogawa is a solo puppetry piece inspired by the poem To Live by Shuntaro Tanikawa, exploring the fundamental questions of life. Created by Leah Ogawa and John Tsung.

Total Running Time: Approx. 75 minutes
