When a Filipino spreads their wings, splits from the flock, and crosses the boundless oceans to a new world, and finds their place, there is a sudden expectation.
To support.
To anchor.
Kwento’s new work by Jordan Shea in collaboration with Happy Feraren follows the mononymous cab-driving Tita, as she ferries the last of her nieces and nephews to establish themselves in an ever-changing and complex Australia. When Tita finally begins to settle down, a new member of her family arrives and captures her attention, challenging her role as her family's greatest pillar.
Part solo monologue, part audience interaction, and entirely authentic - Tita will keep you safe, no matter who you are.
