Magic Beans productions presents:
Life After Breath
Death. Grief. Laughter? Nona and Squee are filled with questions after their beloved Eulalia passes away. What happens after we die? Where do we go - if anywhere? In their desperation to recover what has been lost they take a leap of faith and journey into a Life After Breath.
Magic Beans Productions is a company created by
Amy Chow and Neelam Chattoo. The company hopes to inspire whimsy in theatre for all, circling around themes of friendship and the journeys we experience together. Magic Beans Productions is pleased to present their first work
Life After Breath at the 2013 Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival.
Synopsis:Nona and Squee struggle to repair their broken hearts and broken home after Eulalia dies. Tensions rise during their nighttime rituals when they find trying to move on is more difficult than they expect. In an attempt to cope, they seek solutions from The Big Book of Death and discover a magical CD-Rom that presents them with a way to visit the afterlife. Jumping on the chance to find out what happened to Eulalia, Nona and Squee explore the exquisite and excruciating in a crystal volcano, a hidden garden, and a majestic lake. Through their panic and desperation to find Eulalia, Nona and Squee discover they depend on their friendship now more than ever.
