This performance will empower children to be brave and embrace their unique identities no matter how difficult it might seem to be.
Recommended age: 3 to 10 years old
This project was incubated at The Artground under the GroundBreakers programme 2019 and part of the ‘Invited Artists’ Performance’ at KidsConnect 2019.
