Conceived in collaboration by renown artists Ty Defoe, Kate Freer, and Siobhan “Growing Elm” Brown, this devised piece of theatre explores the interwoven lives and stories of eight unique characters written by the diverse actors who play them. It is a story that traces personal narrative and blood memory. That reveals the costs and realities of migration. And that uplifts the interconnectedness of all living things.

Full production produced at Boston University in the Winter of 2021.

There’s only ten minutes left. Ten minutes before the flesh-hungry monsters banging at the door finally make their way in. There’s only one small window that is a means of escape. And only one of the Alvarez brothers can fit through it. There’s only ten minutes to prepare a boy into becoming a man, to find comfort amidst the cruelness of fate, to yearn for the past while not fearing the future, and to say goodbye one last time to the ones you never thought you’d have to.
