The Theatre For Youth Ensemble's first showcase features Metafall whose fluidity and concurrent fragmentation symbolises the solidarity of the TFYE and the individualism of each member.

With a script partly inspired by Hindu and Buddhist legends, this multilingual, multisensory production builds an overarching theme of hope and salvation in seeming chaos.
