Synopsis

Based on Sonnets 14 and 66 by William Shakespeare, the piece is also inspired by the paintings and artwork of, and dedicated to, Maple Batalia. Maple was a nineteen year old Simon Fraser University student, model, actress and aspiring doctor who was gunned down in the parkade of the SFU campus after a late-night of studying. The House of Kiran and The Batalia Family have created the Maple Batalia Memorial Fund, which is comprised of a SFU Health Sciences Scholarship and The Maple Batalia Bursary for The Arts.
