a prophetess's final song from a camera filled room...
More detailsWhat if the stories we tell ourselves about who we are aren’t the whole story? Drawing from lived experience, ENDLING traces a woman’s shifting understanding of her late grandfather and the legacy he leaves behind. Moving between memory, imagination, and the present, a solo performer navigates a world shaped by a live chorus of men—part soundscape, part shadow, part resistance. Poetic, playful, and quietly disarming, the work holds complexity with humour and care, asking what can be transformed, what must be witnessed, and what might finally be released.
