Three Sisters production by The Solitude Movement
“Three Sisters” is a monodrama performed by a single actor, exploring the rarely discussed bond between siblings and the impact of relationships among three sisters in a Chinese-speaking family🧍🏻♀️🧍🏻♀️🧍🏻♀️
Told from the perspective of the middle child, the audience follows her narrative on her first overseas trip with her sisters to Tokyo, Japan. As the middle child, she feels a sense of invisibility, as her parents often focus more on her other siblings. This has driven her to carve out her own identity, developing strong independence, resilience, and adaptability💪🏻
The performance is in her mother tongue, Mandarin, mixed with English and Hokkien, and includes English subtitles.
