 A LETTER HOME

Created during the pandemic, this performance reflects on a time when a political movement was abruptly cut short, and society was thrust into isolation. Rooted in the solitary routines of lockdown—particularly the act of baking—it constructs a dramaturgy centered on the preparation of a funeral dinner. Once a private activity becomes a symbolic, collective gesture of mourning.

The work interweaves a collage of death letters/suicide notes written by teenagers—found online during the political unrest—into a fragmented portrait of the city. As the evening unfolds, the performance transforms into a communal funeral for those lost, both to the pandemic and the silenced voices of the movement.
