Gravity
“In 1834, the slaves who had been taken from Africa to the colonies of Britain were set free . . . The resulting reduction in the labour force caused the sugar plantation owners to search for replacement workers. The Chinese were the smallest group of these indentured workers.”

Gravity is an exciting new collaboration of theatre and video installation that interweaves storytelling, memories and the stitching together of myths and facts. Gravity tells the story of four women across time, water and worlds connected by blood; by forces pull/pushing them together/apart; and their thirsty love for life and for each other.
The World premiere of Gravity is written and performed by Tricia Collins, directed by Maiko Bae Yamamoto and features the talents of Cindy Mochizuki, James Proudfoot, David Kerr, Antoine Bedard, Paula Danckert, Marie Clements and Diane Roberts.
