The production shows how a mother remembers the life, and untimely death, of  her mixed race son and his struggle for identity in a multi-racial society.

Told through dance, physical theatre, live music and multi-media, this story will take you on a stark journey to find the truth behind an individual's life: choices made; relationships lost and found; self-fulfilling prophecies; injustice; but most importantly, love.

Please see the video opposite to get a unique, behind the scenes glimpse into the making of this production. This particular video focuses on a scene called 'Father Love'.
