AUSTRALIAN DIRECTOR MORNA HU UNVEILS ABU, HER FIRST ORIGINAL PIECE FOR THE STAGE
What survives when language, distance, and time stands between us?
Abu is a tender and searching portrait of a grandmother, a granddaughter, and the thirty years that both divide and bind them, conceived and directed by Morna Hu.
In a montage of moments across three decades, Abu traces the relationship between a grandmother and her granddaughter in an immigrant family. Between them lie words that don't translate, customs half-remembered, and a distance that widens with every generation.
As the two struggle to understand one another, Abu asks what is lost when a family moves between languages and cultures, and what quietly survives. At its heart, Abu is about love, identity, and the grandparents who offer a way back to a home and a world we may never have known.
Come see Abu to embark on a journey back to one's heritage and culture.
Pricing: Ā£15 (standard); Ā£12 (concession, with discount code Abuturtle99)
