Synopsis Artist Information Date & Time
Synopsis

After spending her whole life wandering the dark vastness of space all alone, a shooting star goes on an exploration to discover who she is and where she belongs. She encounters different celestial bodies, all with their own quirks. However, despite meeting so many others during her travels, she is unable to find a home with any of them. At her loneliest, she stumbles upon a group called the Collectors (shooting stars just like her) and learns to love her life through the celebration of the memories she has collected.

 

This showcase will consist of a performance and a facilitated discussion with the artists.

Her recent works include ‘A Ride Alone’, a TYA puppetry show that was featured in a showcase at Pesta Boneka Festival in Yogyakarta, and ‘Lost in Transit’, a radio play in collaboration with the Runaway Collective, which explores the nostalgia, turbulence, and isolation of growing up nomadically without one strict place to call home.
