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 #2


Sperm by Tan Suet Lee
Margaret, 43, single and successful wants a baby. Taking matters into her own hands she places an advert. Rose, her mother, can't understand why she can't do it the old fashioned way or why she would need a syringe. Fabian, strong and good-looking, responds. Can he give Margaret what she wants?

The Lunar Interviews by Verena Tay
Through seven monologues, The Lunar Interviews interweaves real life vignettes and moon goddess myths - Chang Er, Diana, Hina - exploring the themes of creation, nurturing, writing, men-women relationships, solitude, loneliness, exile and the Moon. Provocative and captivating, The Lunar Interviews humanises the mythic and brings the mythic into everyday reality.
