About this show
Is it fate that the Water Dwellers were born into drifting? Having once forgotten their choice to live at sea, yet later chose land – leaving both sea and home to become the first families to settle ashore. This performance, composed of body, sound and imagery, reveals how their wandering abruptly ended. Through whispered conversations with Water Dwellers on Hong Kong’s outlying islands – sharing stories once forgotten – it weaves lineage, history and imagination, piecing together fragments left between ocean and land, in an endeavour to return to the village left four decades ago.
