Nurse. Son. Patient. Mother. Friend. Caregiver.
What happens if we look beyond singular labels and instead see one another as individuals with intertwining identities and complex stories to tell? What songs would we sing for each other? What songs would we want for ourselves?
Through material gathered from interviews with healthcare workers, caregivers and patients, this music theatre performance surfaces their struggles but also their hopes about living and dying.
