Compiled and penned by author Jimmie Lu, this collection gathers tales of love from across the outlying islands and transmutes them into site-specific performance. Through storytelling and theatre, audiences are led to glimpse the myriad forms of romantic bonds between the islands, thereby illuminating the enduring connections, histories, and narratives that have long existed among them.

Courtship and marriage ashore among fisherfolk; the sweetness of after-school hours on the kaito to a neighbouring island; the favoured dating spots of your island and mine; missed encounters at the pier…

Reassembling fragments of everyday life through dramatic and physical theatre, the work reanimates each scene through a contemporary lens, deepening our understanding of island life while inviting audiences to re-examine the nature of relationships in the modern metropolis.
