Prayer For A Hungry Ghost
Project type
Theatre
Date
May 2026
Location
Bristol
In Chinese mythology, ‘hungry ghosts’ are the reincarnated souls of those who were selfish, envious or greedy. These beings have large, insatiable bellies and flames in their mouths, turning everything they eat into ash.
Darkly comedic and haunting, this mesmerising piece of physical theatre is a family drama set in the underworld, exploring the intergenerational trauma born from the pressure of meeting society’s impossible standards.
Big Sister and Little Sister’s lives spiral in opposite directions: one is a celebrated classical pianist under pressure, while the other succumbs to a mysterious illness that ravages her soul. Can their unbreakable bond help them escape?
