Flowing Warblers 2.0: Stories of Diaspora

Description

Flowing Warblers 2.0 weaves together five intersecting stories of diaspora across Hong Kong, London, Berlin, Girona and Ireland’s Cliffs of Moher. The production explores the emotional landscapes of individuals navigating migration, identity and belonging. For example, characters include childhood friends parting in London, a couple going separate ways to the United Kingdom and Spain and a mother rebuilding her life in London to take care of her daughter-in-law. These separate journeys are subtly interconnected, reflecting on choices of leaving and returning, between past memories and future aspirations.
