Description Inter-arts Creation. An old mother losing her memory gets her back tattooed with a Māori motif. What seemed to have no meaning for her divided sons will reveal after her death a deeper quest for unity. After scattering her ashes into the sea, in exchange, the brothers will catch a vulnerable creature - once mythical, tangled up in plastic: an Octopus.

Further Information The work brings together choreographic, filmic, audio-visual and scenographic arts. Originally conceived as triptych, due to Covid crises only Part 1, Part 2 were completed.
