Synopsis

This is song & verse.

 

A family show; but not that kind of family, and not that kind of show. Featuring poems from poet Marylyn Tan's forthcoming chapbook, Unclench, which is about thwarted desire, compulsive habits and unhealthy attachment styles, and portions from the original songs of singer-songwriter Rua, about daughterhood, legacy, and the irreversibility of becoming. We sing, we confront, we remember. We reap, we revel, we take everything home.
