A proudly immigrant story of love, war, and familial reconciliation: 49TH DAY takes us to a cemetery in Việt Nam where a young woman makes offerings and performs rituals for her deceased grandmother. A poetic investigation of intergenerational trauma and displacement; inspired by the real life experiences, this piece is a love-letter to elders everywhere. The show is performed in English and 廣東話. 49th Day premiered at Toronto's Next Stage Theatre Festival 2020, produced by Theatre Artaud and Angela Sun. The piece was developed under the mentorship of Nina Lee Aquino and Factory Theatre's The Foundry creation group. The development of this show was made possible with funding from Factory Theatre, Nightwood Theatre, and Nightswimming Theatre under the Ontario Arts Council's Recommender Grants program.
