Initially developed with the support of Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay as part of Octoburst! 2018, Hold My Hand returns as a filmed immersive table-top puppetry performance for Octoburst! 2020.
Hold My Hand follows an older brother, Boy, and his younger sister, Girl, as they make their way home from school.
As they set off on their journey, ordinary encounters are transformed into extraordinary ones through their imagination. Even as the siblings play, squabble and fight with each other, Boy learns to take on the responsibility of caring for his sister while Girl learns to face her fears and trust her brother.
