Documentary uncovers family secrets, resilience, and connections through personal footage and music.
Victor's journey begins at 19 when he discovers his great-aunt Marcelle in Rome. Inspired by her life's complexities and secrets, he embarks on a two-decade-long documentary project, blending home videos, storytelling, and live music. The narrative delves into themes of belonging, resilience, and the enduring ties to the past. After successful premieres at London’s Soho Theatre and Edinburgh Fringe 2023, Victor Esses, a Jewish-Lebanese-Latinx queer performance artist, brings his unique storytelling back to the London stage.
