Circle Song

Circle Song is a memory-based piece narrated from a perspective that spans across time. It reimagines the experiences of people who left Ireland and England to start new lives in South Africa. The story is inspired by a real event: after a serious brain operation, the narrator’s mother wakes up seeing the world as if she were fifteen years old.

The production also creates space to honour the memories of those who quietly exist within one’s presence, inviting the audience to recall their own memories. This allows the story to be shaped by each viewer’s personal experiences. The play reflects on family history and migrations, while exploring larger questions about what it means to be human, to belong, and how memory and time shape our lives.

Circle Song tickets are available online through Quicket.
