Cali and Nira are non-identical twins. Before they were born, their genes were edited to make them immune to a disease associated with memory loss. The procedure had never been attempted before. It was a choice based on theory. A choice with an unknown outcome. A life, lives, altered. The human race has never been the same.

Spanning eight decades, Cali and Nira navigate waiting rooms and clinics, forced to endure relentless assessments and reviews, constantly in dread realising their own fragility. Some see them as incredible, while others call them monsters. All they ever wanted was to be normal.

LuNa by Keziah Warner delicately dissects an unconventional journey through sisterhood, the unique bond between twins and the unprecedented medical breakthrough that got in the way. Under the direction of Kitan Petkovski, an ensemble of five women unearth the grit and heart of this poetic, raging and exhilarating new Australian play.

Inspired by the true story of the world’s first genetically edited twins Lulu and Nana, born in October 2018.
