Why You Not Eat
2025, MAP Fest, Melaka, Malaysia
A performance meditation on personal grief in devotion to my beloved father and mother. The dining table is the site where grief most manifested in daily life, as my father had difficulties swallowing food after the sudden death of my mother. It's not all sorrowful, as finding lightness and humour within the darkness became a way of relating to my father in his final months.
