Three Women of Swatow

by Chloé Hung

directed by Courtney Ch’ng Lancaster

“Swatow women are supposed to be fierce.”

 

That’s what Grandmother tells her daughter. Grandmother’s a butcher and to her disappointment, her daughter’s a vegetarian. But to her satisfaction, her granddaughter killed her first chicken at the age of three. In this ferocious comedy, the three generations of women grapple with their dark history, emotional inheritance and the legacy of mothers’ life lessons and daughters’ love lives.

 

And there’s blood. Lots of blood.
