Help From the Pod

"Even after passing, the mother has not dropped the infant’s corpse, carrying it where wherever she travels."

In 2018, a whale carried her dead calf for 17 days, in what some sources labeled an "apparent" display of grief. This is a play about a small family with a display of grief that is much more than "apparent" at around the same time.

    Kane expertly blends reality and dream logic to present us with a touching portrait of coping through connection, even across species. A beautiful meditation on grief and the healing power of shared experiences. We may not have the big answers, but we have one another.
