Siti, a recent convert to Islam, is suddenly tasked with overseeing the funeral arrangements of her close friend and companion. Ahmad, a funeral director, is summoned to perform the last rites. As he learns more about Siti, he begins to question the true nature of the relationship between Siti and her friend. While funeral preparations are being made, a charming stranger - Zaki - arrives unexpectedly. He strikes up a conversation with Siti that gradually reveals his motives and her heartbreak.
Hawa is a play that dares to ask difficult questions about faith, love and sexuality. Even as Siti grieves for the deceased, she has to contend with the societal forces that threaten to deny her of her own existence.
Hawa was first produced by Hatch Theatrics and performed at The Substation in April 2015.
Performed in English and Malay, with English surtitles.
