About the event
Lament of the Wandering Head reimagines an ancient Southeast Asian ghost myth as a moving story of female migration and the search for home. This multidisciplinary work weaves together expressive physical performance, storytelling in Mandarin and Penang Hokkien, and a vibrant live score featuring traditional instruments from Taiwan and Southeast Asia. It is a poetic exploration of the strength and resilience of those moving between cultures. (English surtitles provided.)
