Once a year, the many communities of this new world become one, gathering on a barren island for the Remembrance Festival. Amidst the games and food and drink, the sharing of knowledge and the telling of Big Stories, they are visited by a mysterious and legendary wanderer who has arrived to tell the biggest Big Story of all.
Producing company EBP is an assembly of femme, queer artists dedicated to building community and creating new and experime! ntal work that disrupts, engages, and redefines the process of art-making.
