PRESENTATION

If an immigrant dies, where shall their body go? The answer is home, clearly. But where- what is home?
​
Urn follows the journey of Esteban and Mariana, two siblings that reconnect at their mom’s funeral after years of Esteban being estranged from the family. Despite their fractured relationship, they will have to decide where to inter their mother's ashes: their adopted home, St. John’s, NL, or their homeland, Mexico City, MEX.

​Urn received the Senior Dramatic Script Award of the Newfoundland and Labrador 2022 Arts and Letters Awards and has recently been long-listed for the Newfoundland and Labrador Credit Union Fresh Fish Award 2022.
