Three Sisters production by The Solitude Movement

โ€œThree Sistersโ€ 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 family๐Ÿง๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿง๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿง๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

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 adaptability๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

The performance is in her mother tongue, Mandarin, mixed with English and Hokkien, and includes English subtitles.
