Travel through time with Wetion. Based on the book by the same name, Wetion highlights communication’s role in survival and the evolution of writing is a part of this theme. Its 10 scenes recall the important moments worth remembering over 2,000 generations…the legends, passion, humour, laws, codes and cures. And the scenes are staged in regions where much history was written - East Africa, Egypt, the Middle East, European regional hubs, and North American centers.
 
"To-get-her" is the first of two songs from the fifth scene and a play on words. In Scene 05, Greek statues came to life to witness the rift between the genders in 323 BCE. Situated in Gortyn, Crete, near the city’s theatre, three young women, Dione, Ava and Helen, looked at life and their prospects from varying perspectives. Ava aspires to write plays.
