Me. Asian?
Where are you from?
Not always a simple question to answer.
Me. Asian? explores this question from the perspective of a group of young theatre-makers from Vietnam and Korea, educated in a Western system and permanently attached to the internet.
Verbatim interviews taken from different generations of Asian family members and the stories of the performers have been interpreted through physical theatre, cultural music and dance to create a storytelling experience unlike any other. Help us discover how we navigate the clash between technology, the West and tradition, and what it means to truly belong in the 21st Century.
