Ima — “I’ve always danced through life, especially the most turbulent times. Being recognised by the government as a cultural leader, I found it imperative to use my influence to fight against any injustice. It’s been a year since I led many others to leave the city in a protest against the zero child policy. We’ve managed to build a self-sustaining home near a waterfall, but nothing is secure at this moment. We are still at the cliff edge. I am doing my best to lift our spirits while Brigitte organises our revolution. I hope that my daughter, Iris will see what our cause stands for and that she will join us in this fight.”
Performed by: Tang Sook Kuan
