Take Me Back

Role:
Script Writer and Director

Take Me Back was a devised theatre piece exploring memory, sisterhood, and reconciliation through sound, movement, and light. Created collaboratively with Judy Xu as our IB Theatre Collaborative Project, the performance followed two sisters navigating the fragments of their shared past, revisiting moments of closeness, distance, and forgiveness as music becomes the thread that ties them together.

I served as the sound designer and lighting/projection director, shaping how emotion could be felt through rhythm, silence, and color. We used cassette tapes as our recurring motif, our song represented a memory replayed and reinterpreted, sometimes distorted by nostalgia and anticipation. The piece incorporated split staging, projection, and lighting transitions to distinguish between past and present, weaving together timelines like overlapping melodies.

Our goal was to create a world that felt sentimental yet healing, where every sound, every flicker of light, reflected the tender act of remembering. At its heart, Take Me Back asked what it means to hold onto someone through time, and how memory can both haunt, restore, and distort our perspectives.
