ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE A poignantly revealing depiction of the sibling relationship between Kayah, a young man with Down Syndrome and his sister Maitreyah. Expressed through dance, theatre and storytelling Glass Child puts a microscope on their love and how their lives have been affected by other people’s perceptions.
