A Delicate Situation is a cross-cultural collaboration between Australia and Malaysia, exploring the universal subject matter of dying, death, and what lies beyond. Drawing on the power of mythology and our ongoing interest in the supernatural, it is the story of a woman’s struggle to come to terms with death whilst surrounded by folklore, myth, and superstition. Utilizing the recurring image from many Asian cultures through the idioms of dance, puppetry, and theatre this work demonstrates the omnipresence of death and death lore across cultures.
