This project involved the staging of a theatrical work themed around the parent-child relationship. The theatrical piece staged under this program begins with a father one day turning into an elephant. While the piece looked at the parent-child relationship, the depiction of elephant rearing reminded audience members of caregiving and encouraged them to think.
