Renee Liang talks to Kathryn Ryan about her play, the Bone Feeder, which is being turned into an opera for this year's Auckland Arts Festival. It tells the story of a young Chinese man searching for his roots & is inspired by the true story of the SS Ventnor. It is performed in three languages with Western, Maori and Chinese instruments.
