Belonging Showcase

ABOUT THE SHOW

"Home – here, there, everywhere. Bits of us everywhere..."

 

Nether Here Nor There 

A young migrant woman searches for connection with her birth country. Severed by years of separation, her birth country has become faded memories while her new country is a place where she has no roots. Is home where you feel most connected, or where you have your roots?

 

The Misfits

Being vegan is the new hype... unless you come from a family of blood-thirsty demons fighting to inherit the family business... a multi-generational company specialising in the sale of human hearts. Mara is faced with her ultimate challenge: to help her mum win the inheritance while staying a closeted vegan. For there is nothing more shameful than a vegan demon.  

 

The Cut That Always Bleeds 

Med students Mimi, Dan and Petra live together in a share-house in Melbourne. It’s best friends, romances and movie nights... until it’s graduation, breakups and dying parents. Years later, they reunite to confront that pivotal period in their lives. Can past choices ever be remedied? Or will they continue to haunt the trio's adult lives?

 

From South-East Asia to South Asia to Melbourne, three stories collectively asking where is home? What is the price you must pay to achieve a sense of belonging?
