In 2010 a brain tumour took the life of Becky Livingston’s daughter, Rachel. Twenty-three years old and an avid traveller, it was her dying wish to keep traveling. With no agenda or timeline, Livingston travelled the world for twenty-six months—Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Australia, India, England, Ireland and North America—leaving her daughter’s ashes wherever she went. It was a ritual. Merging her daughter’s soul with the elements, Livingston gradually finds points of belonging for them both.
The Suitcase and the Jar explores an intensely personal yet universal experience; how one navigates the terrain of sorrow. It is a story of a mother’s transformative journey through grief; a story of surrender, dislocation and belonging that will speak to anyone who has ever lost someone they love.
Registration required. Register online or at 604-984-0286, ext. 8144
