About this Event
At 24 years old, fine artist Ellen Bird has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia.
This means that for the next 2 years of her life she will be in a medical limbo of treatments, tests and existential questions. Procedures including a bone marrow transplant, which will leave Ellen with the DNA of her anonymous donor alongside her own. To grapple with this reality Ellen and close friend/filmmaker Lily Bisseker use surreal poetry and absurdist satire to explore the possible identity of the donor.
This film celebrates widespread collaboration, narrated by Ellen's doctor himself, featuring her close friends Half Pint Theatre Co. with music from creative partner Emily Zurowski.
