Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!Thief is based on real stories about post-natal depression. Framed as an interview via WhatsApp audio messages conducted by the author, a conversation becomes a confession of 3 women about their challenging and dark experiences of motherhood. In making Thief, we invited women to put their voices to the largely undivulged experience of post-natal depression with the promise of anonymity, on one condition: speak candidly. Thief is a characterization of all the stories collected. Expressed through the views of four women from different walks of life. Fictional, but refreshingly raw. “...So many fears… I need to protect her from so many things...And teach her so many things. Before, I only taught myself. Why nobody warned or said how awful this is going to be? I feel cheated…”Written and directed by Kristina Pakhomova Cast: Helen: Emma WoodTasha: De Xin ChiaPoline: Sophia AssaadiHusband: Jon CancioMother: Irina AndersonKristina Pakhomova as herself Composer | Sound Designer | Sound Engineer: Jack BurmeisterSpecial thanks to all the women who shared their stories.Please check our website www.krispproduction.comKristina Pakhomova, is an international actress, theatre producer, writer, founder, and director of her own creative theatre company in Hong Kong “KrisP.
