 'Daisy' a performance directed and produced by Leah Eliaan and written by Danique Dekker!

 

In a family where days are filled with caring and worrying about your child, brother, sister, niece, nephew or grandchild, identity takes on new meaning. How does having a disabled family member shape you as a person?
Daisy is a cheerful, moving, honest, raw and tender performance.

 

Directed and produced by Leah Sok

This experimental piece explores the lives of a group of young people that face the tension between their youthful innocence and the looming shadow of
societal and personal reckoning and the
consequences of a tragic event. A series of
intimate, painful exchanges between
characters along with chaotic moments of
laughter and dance, slowly reveal the tragic
truth: one of them unintentionally caused the
tragic event.
