Blood Binds
2 Double Bills by Magdalena (Singapore) & The Substation

What are the ties that bind? What does it mean to be related by blood? Is blood really thicker than water?

Funny, moving and close to the heart of every parent and child, Blood Binds challenges and explodes easy assumptions about parenthood through the lenses of age, desire and myth.

Double Bill #1


Bond-Age by Ng Swee San
Feisty and fiercely independent May is forced by circumstances to depend on mousey Agnes to rescue her. Their little escapade forces them to confront their feelings of guilt and resentment towards their families, and to come to terms with aging and their evolving roles as mothers.

Just Late by Dora Tan
More than just a comedy about how an old blind man ends up celebrating his 70th birthday with robbers, Just Late is about the realities of aging. It’s about regret, tenuous family connections and the loss of control in one’s life.
