I was blown away by the collectivity embodied in the formation of this performance. Drummers played in upbeat relays, keeping the energetic sound of drums reverberated across the theatre. Exchanging cheerful gazes and warm smiles, they communicated, attentively listening to one another and hit their drums to create this compelling piece of music together. The choreography reminded me of the passing down of memories and histories for generations within the Asian diaspora, and also a symbolization of community, where people collaborate and help each other out with love and care.
