Hannah Bent live streamed to the Garden from Tokyo, Japan

The twins at the heart of Campbell Mattinson’s deeply moving We Were Not Men suffer great tragedy and risk losing themselves and their vital relationship in the aftermath. Hannah Bent’s wondrous When Things Are Alive They Hum is a celebration of life and the profound connection between sisters, in this case the ambitious professional Marlowe and the captivating Harper, who has Down Syndrome, and is one of the most magical characters of the year.
