"The mystery, beauty and political turmoil surrounding what should be
nature's simplest gift, childbirth, are explored in this kaleidoscope
of
storytelling. SINGING THE BONES brings Canadian writer-performer
Caitlin Hicks' acclaimed one woman stage play beautifully to
film with
Hicks
Reprising her triple-threat performance.
As meg, a spirited Midwife practising illegally in rural Canada,
she
illuminates reasons why women "do not need to be saved by childbirth".
As
Nicole, a feisty young mother pregnant with twins, she howls
out the
sociological horrors and hilarity of he childbirth experience.
As Sara, an
ageing obstetrician, she embodies tragedy transformed into pure
survival.
In a deeply layered and visually arresting production by Gordon
Halloran,
employing his camera as almost another character in the drama, the
interlocking tales of the three women become a single narrative
that is
not just a woman's story, but an unforgettable window into the
human
experience"
D Quinones, Mill Valley Film Festival"
