Dancing with Fish in the Midnight Zone
[Content Warning: mentions of suicide and factors that maybe anxiety-inducing]
A mother, a sister, and a friend go about their everyday living, but something feels off. Be it an extra ritual before a meal, or making sense of life in a virtual world, they each are trying to heal after the death of a dear someone by suicide.
An unexpected relationship forms between a seemingly outsider and the mother-daughter dyad, setting them forth on a journey to confront what’s been long suppressed, learning what it means to grieve, and to face the baggage.
A journey where they have to negotiate through a space that makes them wonder - is there really a space for them to grieve? What form does healing take?
While they find solace in each other’s company, some truths are bound to hurt, threatening their own beliefs about what they know about the person.
At the end of the day, what does it take to heal?

Organiser Drama Box
Organiser of [Online Screening] Dancing with Fish in the Midnight Zone
Founded in 1990, Drama Box is one of Singapore’s leading theatre companies known for creating socially-engaged works that inspire dialogue, reflection and change. By shining a spotlight on marginalised narratives and making space for the communal contemplation of complex issues, it seeks to tell stories that provoke a deeper understanding of Singapore’s culture, history and identity.
Some of its notable productions include “Both Sides, Now” (2013 – 2019), the IgnorLAND series (2007, 2009, 2014 & 2016), “It Won’t Be Too Long: The Lesson & The Cemetery” (SIFA 2015)
