What does it take to mend fractured kinship? How do we re-learn vulnerability and trust? In the disarray of death’s aftermath, can we find forgiveness, consolation, and change?
Written by NUS undergraduate Zenda Tan, Eat Duck is a sensitive exploration of the intricacies of familial love. Following Po-Po’s passing, a multigenerational family is obliged to gather for her week-long Taoist funeral. Amidst the unfamiliarity of tradition and the discomfort of grief, characters are forced to confront repressed memories, politics, and the fragility of life.
At once honest and heart-warming, Eat Duck asks what it truly means to be family.
