What Happened to Agnes
Ulita (UK/Malaysia)
'When my grandmother’s sister Agnes was nine years old, she
disappeared.' What Happened to Agnes brings to life the vivid
imagination of singer and storyteller Nishla Smith, as she spins her
grandmother’s Malaysian childhood memories into a magic-realist realm of
talking tigers, hidden dangers and infinite staircases. Set against the
vibrant colour of Luca Shaw's hand-painted projections and a stunning
piano backdrop from Tom Harris, Nishla's haunting songs bewitch and
enchant, drawing the listeners ever deeper into a dark world of lost
memories.
