LACUNA
By Eric Jiang
An @essential_workers production
📍 Downstairs Theatre, @belvoirst
30 July - 15 August 2026
Claudia is jobless, cashless, and flailing—everything a good Chinese daughter shouldn’t be. Glued to her phone, scrolling and ignoring Centrelink notification emails, her mother’s frustration grows day by day and soon the two of them can barely be in the same room.
So, Claudia is delighted when a plum job opportunity falls right into her lap.
Location: The underworld.
Employer: Meng Po, the Goddess of Oblivion.
Job Description: Erasing memories from the living.
Salary: $200 per gig (plus tips).
The hours are long and there’s no superannuation, but Claudia soon discovers an unexpected side-perk: secretly tampering with her mother’s memory. Just small edits, at first. A softened word here. A forgotten fight there. But the Goddess of Oblivion isn’t one for nuance—and when a mortal meddles with the sacred, the punishment can be severe.
